Manchester United line up £80m bid for Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane
According to the Mirror, Manchester United have lined up an £80million bid for Tottenham Hotspur superstar Harry Kane with the idea of taking him to Manchester next season.
Over the years, Kane has been a shining star for Tottenham, setting records left, right, and centre. Nevertheless, the 29-year-old may find the allure of a move to Old Trafford to be too tempting.
Since Cristiano Ronaldo departed the team, the Red Devils have been searching for a new number 9, and Kane has long been their top priority. Erik ten Hag, the manager of United, is now prepared to pursue the England captain with the support of the board.
Although Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy obviously wants Kane to stay, he is aware that his star striker might find it difficult to resist the allure of a move to a team with United’s calibre and the history that they possess.
Finding a sensible managerial choice to succeed Antonio Conte and persuading Kane that the North Londoners can compete for trophies is now Levy’s challenge. The new manager has a huge task in his hands right away.
Although a number of Europe’s elite teams, like Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Chelsea, have been linked with Kane, it appears that Old Trafford is his favourite location. His current contract with Tottenham expires in 2024, and he must make a choice on his future.
The acquisition of Kane would be a big victory for United and turn them into serious title challengers. The striker’s ability to score goals has been well-documented, and he would offer the kind of precise finishing they have been lacking lately.
Spurs are holding out for £100 million, therefore United will be hoping to negotiate a deal for less money. Although the board is said to have approved an £80 million bid, they might be trying to lowball their offer.
