Not so bold prediction: Kane goes nowhere.

Yeah, I struggle to see Spurs selling him to a British team outside of silly world record fee type amounts. Would he go abroad? Maybe? 

I suspect this ends with Spurs giving him a new contract with astronomical wages and a big buyout clause.

I don't see this part happening personally. 

He clearly wants to win trophies. We might get lucky that no one can pay the fee we want, and then we get a managerial appointment and recruitment right this summer and it convinces him to stay. Otherwise, by next year, he'll only have 2 years left and I'm sure that price will come down somewhat. 

I know Levy was delivering a new stadium, but we had a chance to strengthen the squad and back Poch between 2015-2017 when we were really great and we didn't and we're paying the price both that and Levy's ridiculous decision to appoint Jose. I hate that I totally back him for wanting to move on.

If you're one of the other teams in Europe trying to buy a big name striker you'd go for Haaland or Mbappe given the age and what Tottenham's asking price maybe. 

I don't see Kane going anywhere this summer really. The only club I could see it being is City unless United go all in on the try and appease fans with a big name signing route

I'd have Sander Berge at the club if we could. Him or Bissouma from Brighton would be a good addition to our midfield depth

[DFF]

I think he'd be a great asset for a top half of the table side. I think we won't sell until at least the new manager is confirmed though. From what I gather, we'll only need to sell 1, maybe 2 of our more expensive players (or poss only Berge if we hold out for the 35m release clause), so the board might wait to see what the gaffer wants.

Yeah, I think Bissouma would be an ideal replacement for Sissoko for us. Rate him.

How about £17,200,001.00? 

[Baddar]

Quite depressing this. Leicester already have a far superior centre of midfield than us, yet they're still strengthening by adding another promising youngster this summer.

Meanwhile we'll be linked with the vastly overpriced Rice for two months, not get him, and instead hand new deals to our current bunch. 🙃

HARRY KANE 'NOT REALLY INTERESTED' IN GOING ABROAD AS HE HINTS AT MAN CITY MOVE
By Jonathan Veal, PA
Tottenham striker Harry Kane has hinted at a move to Manchester City and
confirmed he is not currently interested in going abroad.
Kane's future is the subject of intense speculation after reportedly telling
Spurs he wanted to leave the club this summer.
And he hinted at making a move to the current champions after naming City
midfielder Kevin De Bruyne as one player he would most like to play with.
City are reported to be interested in signing the 27-year-old, but Spurs will
not let their star man go without a fight, especially as he is under contract
for the next three years.
Kane is determined to stay in the Premier League and when asked which player
would help him score more goals he said: "De Bruyne for sure.
"When I watch De Bruyne play he's a special, special player and some of the
balls I see him put in for City are just a striker's dream if I'm honest.
"He's outstanding, you've seen him out, he's an outstanding player with the
ball, off the ball, pressing, but his delivery is as good as I've ever seen to
be honest."
Kane has scored 165 Premier League goals, 90 behind all-time top scorer Alan
Shearer, and he wants to stay in the Premier League to try and topple the former
Blackburn and Newcastle striker.
Asked by Gary Neville on The Overlap podcast what could stop him beating the
record, he added: "I guess injuries would be the biggest thing. Obviously I've
had injuries, ankle injuries, and I haven't had anything that's kept me out for
months and months touch wood.
"I guess for me I think injuries would be the biggest thing. Of course there's
always the option of maybe moving abroad one day but I don't think that really
interests me in the near future.
"I feel like I've got a good seven or eight years at the top when you look
kind of the Messis, Ronaldos ... your Ibrahimovics all kind of getting better as
reach their early thirties."
Kane could already have had a hatful of medals with Spurs as during his time in
the first team they have been in two Premier League title races, lost two
Carabao Cup finals, two FA Cup semi-finals and also fell short in the 2019
Champions League final as Mauricio Pochettino had them dining at the top table
of English football.
But Spurs did not make any additions to their squad for 18 months and they have
fallen away and are in danger of missing out on European football all together
next season.
Kane admits that his club missed an opportunity under Pochettino but challenged
chairman Daniel Levy to deliver quality additions to Spurs to help them
rebuild.
"I feel like it was a big opportunity for us," he said. "We had a title race
for Leicester obviously, we didn't quite get there the season after with the
title race with Chelsea.
"Season after that we get to that Champions League final so we were in a real
good place. Of course we didn't win anything and we couldn't quite get over the
line but I feel like we were in a real good place with the team.
"For one reason or another we didn't quite do what we needed to do and kind of
where we're at now I feel like we're kind of at a rebuild stage again if I'm
honest.
"It's disappointing, I feel like the opportunity was definitely there.
"I'm not going to say it's not there anymore of course, one or two good
players can take the team over the line with Liverpool and City and teams like
that.
"But for sure I feel like it was an opportunity missed for the club to do
something special."

 

Kane wants City.

And in two years, you'll be giving Leicester £70m for Soumare.

In shutting the door on a move abroad, Kane has essentially closed off the only viable moves for himself. Man City ain't paying 150 million minimum for him.

What move overseas was viable? Only PSG imo, and I'm not sure the French league is what he's after, despite the allure of Poch.

PSG was much more viable than Man City - and Real Madrid could've probably found another training ground to sell to the government to fund a move. There's no indication that any club in England could meet or be willing to meet Levy's alleged £150 million offer just to start a conversation about Kane.

[Malenko]

I haven't seen Kane in the news in either As or Marca (Madrid's papers). They seem to think Mbappe will be joining next season with or without Zidane. It's just a matter of time.

Maybe not 150. But could City offload some squad players +  fee maybe?

If Real do manage to get Mbappe I'd expect PSG to pay whatever is needed for Kane. They get a Mbappe replacement while Kane gets guaranteed Champions League football.
