United Believes Signing Harry Kane Remains Possible

Spurs owner Joe Lewis has told chairman Daniel Levy that he is not prepared to let Kane leave the club for free next summer.

A deal to bring Kane to United remains unlikely.

PSG Might Never Play Kylian Mbappe Again

PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi has previously said Mbappe must sign a new contract this summer to stay at the club and they are now executing on that tough stance.

Mbappe has not told PSG he wants a move to Real Madrid, who are prepared to acquire him when given the green light. Madrid are the only club Mbappé wants to join this summer.

Harry Kane Open To Exit From Spurs, Won't Push For It

Jul 20, 2023 12:34 PM

Harry Kane will consider leaving Tottenham Hotspur if they accept a transfer fee, but he won't force a move away this summer.

Kane has refused to sign an extension with Spurs, which puts pressure on them to consider a sale as they would risk losing him in 2024 for nothing.

Daniel Levy values Kane at around $128.5 million, but would prefer not to lose him.

Bayern Munich have had two bids rejected. Manchester United are interested in Kane, but haven't made a formal offer.

If Spurs has a successful season, Kane could be persuaded to stay with the club.
