Manchester United are planning a shock move for Tottenham and Premier League highly-rated striker Harry Kane.
Erik Ten Hag is reportedly bent on securing the services of a top number 9 for the Red Devils despite bringing in Dutch and Burnley forward Wout Weghorst on loan.
The Dutch-born tactician, who has overseen an incredible transformation of the Old Trafford club under his watch, wants an experienced and high-profile striker that will lead the club’s attack after Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit.
According to Daily Mail, he is currently making a stunning swoop for the Three Lions forward, and his hoping to land the striker if Tottenham are willing to sell.
Meanwhile, Manchester United hierachy are reportedly tidying up necessary documents to help them make an offer and possibly sign the striker.
According to sources close to the Tottenham ace, Harry Kane is open to a Manchester United move, but there are other sundry factors that will bear on United’s chances to sign the player.
The projection is that the Red Devils will likely land Harry Kane at Old Trafford if they qualify for Champions League next year and Tottenham fall out of the top four.
Harry Kane will be hoping to continue in Europe’s elite club competition next year, and this will make Old Trafford an attractive destination if they qualify for Champions League.
Note that Kane’s current contract with Tottenham will expire at the end of 2023/24 football season, and Tottenham are yet to initiate talks for contract renewal.
Nevertheless, the Lilywhites will certainly not want to lose Harry Kane on free transfer and Tottenham owner Dani levy is reportedly not keen on selling the 29-year-old.
Notwithstanding, Dani Levy’s hand will likely be forced if Tottenham continue to mire their Champions League chances with a poor run of form in the Premier League.
Souces close to the Tottenham chief say he will likely slam a price tag of £85million on Harry Kane amid interest from United – a Premier League rival.
Manchester United are not the only club interested in Harry Kane. Before United’s interest, the England international was linked to Bayern Munich, including Real Madrid.
Dani Levy is reportedly averse to selling his big-name players to rivals and this will probably doom Man United’s chances amid interest from clubs outside the Premier League.
Harry Kane has started all Tottenham’s 20 Premier League matches so far this season, scoring 15 goals, and delivering one assist. He has started all Champions League matches for the club, and has scored one goal.
Despite his Premier League form, Tottenham have struggled so far this season, with the Champions League hope in ruins.
The London club would have filled the void when Liverpool and Chelsea – regulars in Premier League top four – have now slip, but it appears Newcastle have successfully gatecrash the race.
They now have to face an uphill task of dislodging the Magpies, but it appears their chances are slimming down with series of poor results as the league progresses.
Now, the likelihood of retaining Kane is dependent on their Premier League finish at the end of the season amid interests from bigger clubs.
