I can't see Kane leaving the PL until he holds the scoring record.
The two teams that could afford him, and where he wold fit in best: Manchester United and Chelsea.
He'll never go to Arsenal and he'll never really fit into a Manchester City team where Pep wants his attacking players to all be agile, and able to swap in and out of positions. (Thats not to say Pep could not switch tactics to accommodate Kane's skills - but, he is not a great fit in the current tactics). Liverpool would not be a terrible fit, but, then he is still competing with Mane and Salah (and/or Jota) for goals - so, I don't see them as likely as Chelsea/ManUnited.
Chelsea - have a billionaire owner, who does not mind spending his own money, and Kane is a substantial upgrade to Werner who could also play along side Kane. If Kane (and Mrs. Kane) want to stay in London - I could see a deal here.
Man United - if the Glazers are looking to do a deal to calm the angry fan base - Kane is the deal to do that. English Captain, chasing the all-time PL scoring record, etc. They could swing the deal financially just by selling Pogba as a partial off-set of the Kane price. Also could off-load Martial.

If the stories around Modric and Bale are to believed Levy would not entertain a sale of a key player to either of those clubs regardless of any pressure put on him by the player.

Can’t see Levy selling to Chelsea, especially after recent events. Just like Glazer, Levy will want to try and appease fans too. But even before the super league debacle, he didn’t sell Modric to Chelsea and I can’t see him bucking that particular trend.
It’s Man Utd or Man City unfortunately. Levy would prefer Spain I’m sure, but as you say, Kane will no doubt want the PL record.

Cavani extension at Man U. Won’t, but should, put any talk of him going there in the bin.

There may be several things in the way of Kane going to United - but Cavani signing a 1-year extension is not one of them...

He's absolutely gone IMO
- It undeniable that we're going backwards
- we're now a cash constrained mid table team with richer teams around us, who are no worse
- He's the best player not currently playing in the Champs League
None of the above is a good look for a player of his caliber and he's probably fucked off with it.
I think he go would to, possibly in this order:
City: Best team in the league, can afford him
Man U: Upwardly mobile and a big name
Chelsea: We might not like it, but they're going to be a big threat next year
Every single one of them needs a striker, and a 34 year old signing a year extension won't change that at Utd. It's just question of whether we can (1) meet on price and (2) if those teams look for someone else. Haaland and Mbappe being arguably more interesting options, being younger and without the injury baggage.
It's a massive shame that we appointed Mou. We had a chance to build on Poch's team, but he was (as many predicted) an accident waiting to happen.

I can't understand how people can see Kane at Chelsea?! That would make a serious dent inn his status at this club. Chelsea has been our biggest rival inn these last years. F*CK them. And Kane, if he ever goes there?

The one thing that I think any club will struggle with in buying Kane is the price tag. Even City have been reluctant to spend the type of money that would get us to sell Kane. I can't see Levy settling for anything less than a world record fee, or at least 2nd highest fee of all time after Neymar. That would mean a club needing to shell out around €150m+ and with the state of clubs financials right now given the pandemic I can't see that happening. Personally I see us keeping Kane for 1 more season, then if the new manager doesn't get us back to where we need to be by Christmas in terms of playing style and squad harmony, I think we'll start seeing a lot of rumours in Jan for a move in the summer 2022.

no way would Kane go to Chelsea, he has 3-5 years left at the top level and will want to win consistently. It's either City, Barca or Real Madrid IMO.
Guess this summer will be a real test of how 'broke' the Spanish clubs are, because if their finances are as bad as has been made out there's now way they could afford him
Levy would never sell any valuable player to Chelsea. He's had a bee in his bonnet with Abramovich ever since they enticed Arnesen away from us.
I'm also pretty certain that he won't deal with United after getting sick of them nicking our best players.

Wasn’t Eriksen linked with United but he didn’t want to go there?

I can't believe any fans are actually criticizing Kane for his recent performances. He rushed himself back from injury to try and help us win a trophy. He clearly isn't fully fit because he put his career at risk to try and help his club. He should be named PFA player of the year for the season he has had.

That is overly ambitious to think the club will be based to where we think it should be by Christmas this will take ages.

To be honest, if he went to any other English club, he’d be dead to me.

We don’t do business with Chelsea and have no board relationship with them. Levy chucked Roman out of the lounge as he refused to wear a tie!

Just me that can't work out for the life of me why Kane isn't the shoe-in for player of the year?
Neville and Carragher both going for Dias on Sky, most writer seem to be going for Dias for FWA and both Bruno and Dias ahead of Kane at the bookies for PFA player of the year.
He's potentially one of two players ever to finish top of scoring and assists chart and he's done it for a shit team which spent most of the season under a boss who banned attacking after scoring one goal. The agenda against Kane in this country is just utterly bizarre.

Given that there are only 4-5 teams in the world that can afford Kane - I don't think Levy is dumb enough to rule any team out that meets the demanded price.
If Spurs sell Kane - they need/want a bidding war of sorts to take place. And, you don't get that if you refuse to deal with 2 teams that are most likely to have the funds - Chelsea and United.
And, if you let emotions get in the way of a good business deal - you end up with what you deserve.
In the past, RM and Barça would be buyers - but I don't think they have the money - and even if they did, I don't think Kane wants to leave England just yet - and if City think that Levy won't deal with the only other bidders - then City are not going to bid against themselves.
Certainly, Levy can refuse to sell. That is within his rights, given the 3 years remaining on Kane's contract. But, if we are really looking at a lengthy re-build, it would be foolish to run Kane's contract down, when you can make better use of his value now.
If Levy is willing to spend some money this summer to give Kane/Son/Bale one more chance - that is different - but I don't think we will be seeing much investment this summer, absent a big chunk of money from player sales.
