Tottenham have ‘tempting’ price tag for Harry Kane as Manchester City push for transfer
Tottenham would reportedly be tempted to sell Harry Kane for a transfer fee less than £150million, which could prompt Manchester City to make another offer for the striker.
Kane has made clear his desire to leave Spurs this summer in a pursuit of silverware.
The 27-year-old has not won a major trophy during his career and is believed to see this summer as the best opportunity to earn a big move.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and owner Joe Lewis are not willing to sell and it would likely take a premium fee to prise Kane away from the club.
It was reported earlier this summer that City had seen a bid of £100m rejected by Spurs.
Owner Lewis is reportedly unhappy that Kane’s stance on a move was made so public towards the end of last season when interim boss Ryan Mason was trying finish the campaign positively.
