Harry Kane – the signs were already goodbye in the last home game of last season.
Excitement in England! National team captain Harry Kane on strike at Tottenham. The striker wants to force the transfer to Manchester City.
Before the start of the league, there is thick air in the Premier League. On August 15th there will be a league hit in the first round. Tottenham Hotspur welcomes Manchester City to London. The two clubs are not just vying for three points, but also for Spurs' top star: Harry Kane.
The 28-year-old led England to the final as captain of the “Three Lions” at the EURO, only losing to Italy on penalties. Surprisingly, he had already declared that he wanted to change in advance. The message between the lines: He wants titles that he doesn't think possible with the Lilywhites. Because he is chasing Alan Shearer's Premier League goal record (260 hits), he wants to stay on the island. Only Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea can offer him the desired salary and the prospect of titles. Meister City is considered to be the most promising option. Pep Guardiola's club really wants Kane, should be ready to pay an astronomical transfer fee for the attacker. The British media recently spoke of up to 180 million euros.
The problem: Spurs boss Daniel Levy made it clear that he wasn't thinking of selling Kane. Since he still has a three-year contract, Levy sits on the longer branch. Or at least that's what he believed.
Because: As it became known on Monday, Kane is now ready to take drastic measures to enable his dream of a blockbuster transfer to title hamster City. Kane should have started team training again on Monday after his extended EURO vacation. He skipped.
Kane obviously wants to strike his move and thus follows in the footsteps of prominent kickers who are successful with this tactic. One of them is now playing at local rivals Arsenal: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang forced his departure from Dortmund. Borussia also let the striking Ousmane Dembele go after the Gabonese. Barcelona paid 135 million euros for the French four years ago.
