Tottenham owner, Joe Lewis, has told the club chairman, Daniel Levy, that Harry Kane must be sold this summer if the striker refuses to sign a new £400,000-per-week contract.
Lewis is determined Kane will not be allowed to see out his current deal and leave for free when it expires next summer. Levy values Kane at £100million but will come under pressure to sell the England captain before the transfer deadline if he refuses to accept new terms, understood to be up to £400,000 a week.
Bayern Munich have already had two bids for Kane rejected and are now preparing a third offer. The German champions are confident that a deal can be done, and Kane’s wife Kate is said to have looked at houses in Munich.
Tottenham’s asking price was too much for Manchester United, who ended their interest early in the summer and switched to cheaper options like Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund and Randal Kolo Muani of Eintracht Frankfurt. United are particularly keen on Hojlund and are ready to table a formal offer.
It’s possible they could re-enter the race for Kane if Spurs come under pressure to sell, but United are unwilling to pay over the odds for a player turning 30 on Friday.
Manager Erik ten Hag also has Anthony Martial, who spent much of the manager’s first season at Old Trafford on the sidelines injured and is currently recovering from a hamstring strain.

Tottenham owner Joe Lewis has said Harry Kane
Manager Erik ten Hag also has Anthony Martial, who spent much of the manager’s first season at Old Trafford on the sidelines injured and is currently recovering from a hamstring strain.
Martial will be eased back into training on United’s tour of the US but it remains to be seen if he can feature in either of the remaining games against Real Madrid in Houston and Borussia Dortmund in Las Vegas.
United beat Arsenal 2-0 in their opening game in New Jersey on Saturday with new captain Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho — playing as a false nine — on target at MetLife Stadium.
Meanwhile, Kane’s team-mate Son Heung-min insists the England man is still enjoying life at Spurs despite uncertainty over his future.
‘Harry has been fantastic for me,’ said Son. ‘He’s always professional, always working hard. He’s never showed any thoughts about himself.
