Harry Kane has been a wish of many massive clubs in Europe for a while now but the Englishman has welcomed the ending of each of the recent transfer windows in the white shirt of Tottenham. He really wants to win something with the Spurs but it just isn’t happening – and that is the trump card that some of the giants of European football are using to lure in the 29-year-old. The problem for all of those clubs is that Kane is reportedly keen to stay at the ‘new White Hart Lane’.As reported by the respected Athletic, i.e. one of its leading journalists – David Ornstein, the club from north London plans to start talks on extending cooperation with its main star as soon as the January transfer window ends. However, what makes this information more interesting is the alleged desire or intention of the player himself to extend his contract with Tottenham, which the same source writes about.Harry Kane is close to agreeing a contract extension at Tottenham. A reminder that his agent is his brother Charlie, whose company CK66 Player Management has one client… HARRY KANE! 😂 pic.twitter.com/JoeogFPakr— Pie Sports Booze 🔞 PARODY (@piesportsbooze) January 23, 2023 A reminder – before buying Erling Haaland, Manchester City aimed to bring Kane (even Real Madrid were mentioned at the same time), then the German media announced that the English representative was seen by Bayern’s experts as an ideal candidate to replace Robert Lewandowski. And finally, at the end of last week, Manchester United were introduced to the whole story.Both Bayern and Manchester had the idea of waiting for the summer to launch a concrete attack. They reckoned that Tottenham would have a significantly weaker negotiating position when Kane only had 12 months left on his contract, but one of today’s best goalscorers is clearly planning to spoil their plans.(🏅) 📰 David Ornstein | Harry Kane 🏴 open to signing new contract at Tottenham. No dialogue since summer 2021 but talks planned for after Jan window. If circumstances right, possible 29yo will now extend past 2024. Striker’s priority is to succeed with #Tottenham. #THFC pic.twitter.com/Q4H9PUUR8Z— SpursRelated™ (@Spurs_Related_) January 23, 2023 Ornstein claims that Harry Kane is unconcerned by the current dire situation at the club (questioning how long Antonio Conte will stay; Paratici fined for embezzlement while at Juventus; Champions League hanging in the balance) and that his primary aim is ‘to succeed with his parent club’. For this reason, writes The Athletic, the 29-year-old striker will be open to negotiations.Fabio Paratici’s future at Tottenham is under increasing scrutiny after allegations he offered to pay over the odds to sign Cristian Romero from Atalanta to solve a problem for his former club Juventus.[Daily Mail] pic.twitter.com/gPMQkekmcO— Footy Accumulators (@FootyAccums) January 23, 2023 Also, the honorary president of Bayern, Uli Hoennes, yesterday expressed doubts about Bayern’s ability to hire Kane.”He is a great player, but Manchester City were ready to spend 140-150 million euros to bring him. These are amounts that Bayern neither can nor want to pay.”Manchester United, on the other hand, have no obstacles to meeting the mentioned figures, but it will not mean much to them if it turns out to be true that Kane wants to stay in London.Harry has so far scored 265 goals in 414 games for Spurs, 198 in the Premier League, which is 62 steps away from the all-time top scorer Alan Shearer. Kane has the opportunity to get closer to the legendary striker tonight against high-flying Fulham at Craven Cottage.What many criticize Kane for is the lack of trophies – he hasn’t won any yet. However, it clearly doesn’t bother him enough to leave his beloved club.MATCHDAY 👊🆚 Fulham🏟 Craven Cottage🏆 @premierleague⏱ 8.00pm#️⃣ #FULTOT pic.twitter.com/aJatvtGuA5— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) January 23, 2023 PREMIER LEAGUESaturdayLiverpool – Chelsea 0-0Bournemouth – Nottingham Forest 1-1 (1-0)/Anthony 28 – Surridge 84/Leicester City – Brighton 2-2 (1-1)/Albrighton 38, Barnes 63 – Mitoma 27, Ferguson 88/Southampton – Aston Villa 0-1 (0-0)/Watkins 77/West Ham United – Everton 2-0 (2-0)/Bowen 34, 41/Crystal Palace – Newcastle United 0-0SundayLeeds – Brentford 0-0Man.City – Wolverhampton 3-0 (1-0)/Haaland 40, 49 pen, 54/Arsenal – Man.Utd. 3-2 (1-1)/Nketiah 24, 90, Saka 53 – Rashford 17, Martinez 59/Monday23.00: (3.35) Fulham (3.50) Tottenham (2.30)***odds are subject to change
