Will half-a-million-USD-a-week get Harry Kane to Etihad Stadium?

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy stated last month that ‘what other clubs want is not always possible to achieve’ when speaking to Tottenham’s official website on the topic of players who might be the subject of bids in the transfer market.Harry Kane expressed his desire earlier this summer to leave the Spurs in search of trophies – with Pep Guardiola’s Premier League champions his preferred destination.Now, reportedly, Kane is set to get his dream realized and leave Tottenham in an astounding and Premier League record breaking 220 million USD transfer to Manchester City.Levy has agreed to let Kane join a Premier League rival with the England captain reportedly set to earn 550,000 USD per week at the Etihad Stadium, The Sun claim.Eden Hazard’s agony: His managing team is trying to send him back to ChelseaThe report adds the length of Kane’s deal at City would probably run for four or five seasons.English outlet also claims Levy called Kane and and his elder brother and agent Charlie to tell them that he had changed his mind about only letting him leave for a club in Europe.Reports last month suggested boss Nuno Espirito Santo revealed last week he was confident Kane would be committed to the cause and that Spurs had rejected a 137 million USD bid from City for England’s striker.Even though new Spurs director of football Fabio Paratici was keen to rebuild a team around Kane – as all the latest reports suggest – captain of the England national team will be making a move up north to play under the Spanish manager.Transfer kings: Leipzig spends the most, Leipzig earns the mostIf the potential transfer does happen, the reported 220 million USD fee for Kane would make the new English record, which is currently held by Manchester United and the 122 million USD they paid Juventus for Paul Pogba five years ago. It could also be a record payment to Tottenham – Gareth Bale joined Real Madrid in 2013 for 118 million USD.Kane’s desire to leave comes as no surprise – after another trophy-less campaign with Spurs (lost the Carabao Cup final to City) and after more heartbreak arrived in the form of a penalty shootout defeat by Italy at the EURO 2020 final – both at Wembley – it looks like the striker who will turn 28 in a couple of days has had enough.If he moves to the sky blue side of Manchester, there he will find his Three Lions team-mates Kyle Walker (a former Spurs player), John Stones, Phil Foden and Raheem Sterling.BOMBA!Secondo il Sun di domani, Manchester City e Tottenham avrebbero raggiunto un accordo per Harry Kane per 187m€.Kane guadagnerebbe circa 16m€ netti all’anno— Tancredi Palmeri (@tancredipalmeri) July 22, 2021 Same media claim Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus could be heading the opposite direction in some variations of the deal between two clubs.Kane may not be the only England international joining City this summer – as Sportsmail understood last month the Premier League champions are sure they will lure in Aston Villa’s captain Jack Grealish with an offer of 137.5 million USD, despite Villa offering a new contract to the attacking midfielder.After seeing Sergio Aguero join Barcelona on a free transfer earlier in the transfer window, City have been desperate for a striker.
