Even if he is looking to move I think there are way too many hurdles this summer.

It's not going to happen unless City come in and offer 120 million plus. And they won't.

I don't see us dealing with Chelsea or United. I don't see Kane causing problems at the club or wanting to go abroad, and I don't see Levy selling his prized asset on the back of the season of bad decisions he has had.
The only teams I could see potentially putting up the money this summer if they're interested is Man City, Man Utd and PSG.

My guess is he'll end up staying next season. City are the most likely destination if he were to leave.

I really hope he stays, he will be still here next season I feel as I have always doubted Levy would sell him. We do need some serious investment on quality players though and no wasting it on average players to just make up the numbers.

I would argue we have started to do that with Lo Celso, N'dombele, Regulion and Hoijberg.

Problem is you can't really gurantee if a player will settle and fulfil his potential. N'domebele was one of Europe hottest prospects, destroyed City in the CL and we fought off big teams to secure his signature. Same with Lo Celso. We chose both over Bruno. Despite early season promise I wouldn't be surprised if we got rid of N'domebele this year. Thiago again for Liverpool hasn't settled yet. Its a fine line between average and great. I wouldn't be surprised if N'domebele went to Spain and tore it up.

I think if Lo Celso stays fit he will come good and will dramatically improve our team. But its clear people have serious doubts over Tanguy and theres been some creeping over Regi second half of the seasons performances. The premier league is brutal. Can make great players look poor.

Micah Richards has apparently spoken sense, said that City won't be paying £150 million, said would they pay £80 or £90 yes, but they would never get him for that. Said City should be targeting younger players such as Mbappe or Haaland.

Thing is, where's the money coming from?.The club won't be running up more debt.
I agree with that. I’m not even confident we would spend money well even if it was made available, we seem to consistently spend quite a bit of money on very average players.

Anyone else getting annoyed with seeing Chelsea’s name getting listed in these articles. Kane would never go there so why bother. Only club he is likely to go is city.

I think Pep would want someone younger, hopefully.

I was speaking to a big City fan at lunch and he doesn't want him and also doesn't think they would spend that much money on one player unless it was a Haaland type due to his age.

I think what we will find very quickly is that it becomes down to just United and whether the Glazers will see it as opportunity to buy quietness.

Trix, Herc and JJ have all pooh poohed him being sold this summer.

Herc has pooh poohed there being a gentleman’s agreement with Levy.

Dragon has confirmed Kane is frustrated, but pooh poohed him asking to leave, as has Ally Gold.
Really appreciate it mate thank you ?❤️

Agree, United may cough up to try and silence their fans.

Agree, don't think we should entertain them at all. City is a hard sell to H due to them being favourites for every competition they enter. United are no guarantee for trophies but are at least ambitious, which is the one thing we clearly lack at the top.

If they do, would Kane consider them an immediate upgrade? I mean they haven't won jack of note in a couple years and Mou only got them an FA cup and an EL trophy.

If he is genuinely leaving to win trophies I don't think it is more guaranteed with them than it is with us unless we are talking a couple cups here and there.

The more I think about it there is absolutely zero chance Levy allows him to leave this summer. He’ll have to run his contract down like Eriksen if he wants out (who was also probably valued around 100m by the club a few seasons back).

Those using Bale as precedent — the club was at a completely different stage and position at that point.

Also if you are England's captain and at Manchester Utd which is still one of two biggest clubs in the world, imagine his market value when it comes to sponsorships..it would double.

That might not be a big incentive for Harry but it will be one for his family who advise him.

This feels like Kane setting the stage for pushing for a move next summer if Levy doesn't sort his shit out.
