After the continuous defeats of Tottenham and the steady return of Man United , perhaps it is time for Harry Kane to make a decision for himself.
Man United are speeding up negotiations to buy Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur. The price of the English striker is at an unpredictable threshold because Kane only has 1 year left on his contract with Spurs. It is expected that the transfer fee of the 30-year-old striker will not be as high as two years ago, but his salary will certainly make The Red Devils hesitate.
The attractive figure is Kane from the “Red Devils”, according to The Sun at about 300,000 pounds/week. In fact, this is the same number as what Man City offered Kane two years ago but failed.
If Kane comes to Old Trafford from next season, it is likely that he will become the highest-paid player in the team. The current holder of this achievement at MU is David De Gea. The Spaniard receives £375,000 a week but is in the next contract negotiation stage.
According to Manchester Evening News, De Gea is in a position to reduce his salary if he wants to continue playing for the “Red Devils”. Not surprising if De Gea’s upcoming figure is only around £ 200,000 / week.
In parallel with preparing to welcome Kane, MU also needs to tie up Marcus Rashford with a new level of treatment. £200,000/week is what Rashford is getting at Old Trafford but it is not enough to attract the English striker, especially after a very good performance from the beginning of the season so far. Rashford has 28 goals for Man United in all competitions and still has many opportunities to reach 20 goals in the Premier League (currently has 15 goals).
Kane is currently on 26 goals from the start of the season in all competitions for Spurs but 24 of these have been established in the Premier League. If Kane and Rashford continue to maintain their scoring record in the top domestic league, Man United will hit the target. The Manchester team has just undergone the first season of rebuilding and cannot think of far away in the Champions League, the Premier League is still a priority.
On the Tottenham side, chairman Daniel Levy is famous for being cold in transfer sessions, but the situation now forces Levy to soften himself. Firstly, Spurs are in a weak position compared to Newcastle and Man United themselves in the race to win tickets to next season’s Champions League. If they weren’t allowed to participate in this arena, it would be a crime to tie Kane down.
Besides, Spurs have not yet paid off the debt they borrowed to build a new stadium. The past two years of COVID-19 have been a blow to the wallets of Levy and his associates. If Kane is sold for nearly 100 million pounds, that is considered a success for Tottenham’s elite.
Finally, Spurs have just fired interim coach Cristian Stellini. If they are ambitious next season, they will spend a lot of money again to bring in a good teacher. Therefore, if Kane is sold at the target price, Spurs owners will feel relieved.
