Daniel Levy plans to set Harry Kane transfer price tag beyond the stars
Manchester United, Chelski, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and a whole host of wealthy clubs are beside themselves in wanting to sign Harry Kane this summer. However, Manchester United seem to be the most desperate to sign Harry Kane in the transfer window as their dream target.
One of Levy’s reasons for setting the price tag on Kane so high is that he isn’t interested in selling him. Even if Kane forces the issues because of a lack of medals. But that won’t stop United from making a £90m bid for Kane as they look to ramp up their efforts to sign the striker.
Levy is interested in winning trophies, however, he considers that the European League and League title is beyond the club’s financial pockets. The FA & League cups are more to do with the rub of the green, in other words, luck,(that is why so many lowly clubs have won it), than just money.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made Kane a top target as he looks to land a world-class forward in the transfer window to strengthen his team to challenge for major trophies. The striking position has become a priority despite Edinson Cavani looking likely to remain another season, even though his age is catching up with him.
There is also a feeling at the Tottenham club that Levy wants money in the club’s pockets after our disastrous campaign that could see us again without Champions League football next season.
As for Kane
He has always maintained that he wants to win the biggest prizes but, turning 28 this summer, the realisation that it might not be with his life long club could be starting to sink in. According to The Sun newspaper, United are prepared to test Daniel Levy’s resolve with an offer of £90m. However, I doubt Levy will pick up the phone under any valuation of less than £200m. Money has always been Daniel Levy’s objective, and if he finds that he has to sell Kane, he will screw any club to the floor and get as much blood money out of them as he can. First, he is a businessman, before a football chairman. He doesn’t have a reputation as a mean negotiator for nothing.
In these Covid times, club finances come into Levy’s thinking more than it usually would (that line made me laugh… money has always been on the mind of a man who pays himself £7 million a year; or at least he did, before criticism forced him to drop some of his millions). Don’t forget, the club are in more debt than any other ‘Top Six’ club since the pandemic.
As I said earlier, as well as United, several other Premier and European League clubs are interested in signing Kane. Manchester City would love him as a Sergio Aguero replacement, while Chelski are desperate for a world-class striker in the calibre of Kane.
But, according to Ryan Mason, he does not reckon Kane will leave this summer, even if we fail to land Champions League football, saying: “I don’t believe so. Harry Kane loves this club, which has been proven over the last seven or eight years. He is one of the best strikers in the world. Everyone knows that, we know that. I’d like to think Harry knows that as well.” Yes, he is one of the best players at the club, along with Son, however, the quality surrounding him is very much lacking.
Out of all the most expensive valuable players in their position in the Premier League, only Kane and Son are on that list. That should tell you something about our club’s financial objectives. And Kane didn’t cost Levy anything as he came up through the Spurs youth system, while Son was bought cheaply.
It is finally here, a new super book about the greats, Glories and all you want to know about the Tottenham great players (we are not worthy!) who have graced White Hart Lane and beyond. Sixty years ago this month, the Greatest Football club in the world won the double with probably the most outstanding team on this planet.
Has your eye’s seen the Glory? If yes (or even no) click HERE and follow the link, then they/ you will, and for those that are longer in the tooth (in other words, old like me)…. be prepared to be dazzled all over again!
