Tottenham Hotspur will offer special discount to foreign clubs for Real Madrid Harry Kane
Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is the subject of countless headlines heading into the summer transfer window.
The England international’s contract expires in the summer of 2024 (Transfermarkt) and there doesn’t seem to be any strong signs that he will pen fresh terms. Amidst this, a report by Spanish outlet Cadena SER have linked him with Real Madrid.
They state that the Englishman has been offered to Los Blancos in exchange for cash plus Eden Hazard. They add that reports in British media claim that Spurs will offer a €20million discount to non-Premier League teams wanting Kane.
This clearly shows Daniel Levy is encouraging non-PL teams to make a move for Kane. Chelsea and Manchester United are two teams in need of a striker and have been linked with the 29-year-old.
A wise move?
Seeing him join a Premier League rival would dent his immaculate legacy at Spurs to a big extent. He is synonymous with the Spurs badge and it would be a big letdown for the fans to see him play for a rival.
Moreover, it would be viewed as a failure on Levy’s part to keep Kane at Tottenham and shield him from the lures of Premier League rivals, who were allowed to present themselves as projects than Spurs to him.
If Kane has to leave, fans would rather see him join a non-English team. It is how it is. Of course, staying in England makes a lot of sense for him, considering he has himself admitted how much he wants to break Alan Shearer’s 260 goals record in the Premier League.
No one wants to see a club legend leave in such a manner, but seeing them join Real Madrid or Barcelona (such as Luka Modric and Gareth Bale’s move to the Santiago Bernabeu in the past) has a sense of safety about it.
