Manchester United are losing hope in their pursuit of Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane
According to Football. London, Manchester United’s pursuit of Harry Kane is slowly dwindling, leaving the Red Devils with little hope of signing their number-one target.
With the conclusion of the season, the speculation surrounding Kane’s future has reached a fever pitch. The enigmatic forward, who has yet to make a definitive statement regarding his stay at Tottenham, finds himself in a precarious situation.
With only one year remaining on his contract, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is faced with a daunting dilemma – whether to risk losing his prized asset for nothing next year or command a hefty transfer fee, estimated to be around £100 million.
Naturally, Manchester United emerges as the logical destination for Kane, as the squad under Erik ten Hag lacks a true striker. While Wout Weghorst temporarily filled the void during his loan spell from Burnley, his return has left a void yet to be filled.
Meanwhile, other London clubs seem unlikely contenders, while Manchester City and Liverpool have already secured their long-term attacking options. Given Kane’s preference to remain in England, Old Trafford appears to be the only viable escape route if he decides to part ways with Spurs.
Nonetheless, The Times hints at a different narrative, suggesting that Manchester United is preparing to throw in the towel even before the transfer window officially opens. It seems that Levy has not shown any inclination to entertain the idea of cashing in on the prolific striker, further dampening United’s hopes.
This unexpected turn of events potentially opens the door for Real Madrid to secure Kane’s signature. The Spanish giants have been on the hunt for a suitable replacement for their long-serving striker Karim Benzema.
The prospect of Kane donning the famous white shirt of Real Madrid is undoubtedly a tantalizing one. The allure of playing alongside the likes of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, under the guidance of experienced manager Carlo Ancelotti, could prove too enticing for the English captain to resist.
