He might say no to a sale now to agree on one in January on the chance Kane wont renew, but beyond that it's a pure loss and madness to not agree.
He has in the past refused to sell his best players to English clubs, both Modric and Bale had to wait until Madrid came for them as he would not sell Modric to Chelsea or Bale to us. I appreciate that you think the price would be the same for us and Bayern but I don't think it's remotely true, I think that is precisely the reason we went for Hojlund instead of trying to deal with Tottenham. It wouldn't even make sense for them to accept the same bid from both clubs as they'd obviously prefer to have him go abroad.
What is your evidence that "Levy will not sell to us"?
It's as much speculation as anything else to parrot that old sentiment. Clubs that can match salary demands, absorb the fee AND need him at this moment are currently limited to us and Bayern. With us he wont have to unroot his family, he can chase his record, stay in his home country and so on so it's not all that unlogical. Next year who knows how the lay of the land is with Madrid, City and the likes in the race. In my opinion it all comes down to 1. if Spurs are firm believers they can influence him to sign or not and also 2. how much he wants to leave this year. Kane has nothing to lose by sitting out the contract, delay any decisions and thats a bigger hurdle than Levy.
OK so if it wasn't Kane then who could you see us buying. Also did you mean signing one still in this window or the January one
I honestly don't know, a lot of you guys are better at scouting on here rather than I. It was reported way back Ten Hag wanted an experienced striker and a up and comer and I think he will still look to get someone. It might end up as a loan or something on the last day, just hope he's better than our last loanee...
Yeah we have burnt by recent striker loans
The guy to watch in these scenarios is Joe Lewis. He is known to be getting twitchy about losing Kane for nothing and if Joe tells Levy to jump, he has to jump.
The “we cannot spend” is just gossip, media BS. Last year supposedly we were only able to spend 100 million and spent way more than that. This year we supposedly only could spend 100 million (again), and we have already spent 170-180. We are Manchester United! Not a pub team.
I think we could do it, it's more the fact we won't pay £120m~ for an ageing player with a year left on his contract.
I wish the media would stop peddling this one. Football existed before the Premier League, and Kane is nowhere near the all time record. Even Shearer is only 5th. It's a nonsense record that's being hyped up for no reason. He'd be a fool if he sticks around for that, he's 150 goals off the real one.
Which is doable at a top club - Lewa has scored over 150 league goals since turning 30. It’s two 30+ seasons and four 20+ with a few extra. That’s entirely achievable for a striker as good as Kane with the right team around him and a bit of luck with injury. He’s got no hope if he goes abroad for 2 years.
If he scores this Man Utd in a team like ours, very very high chance he’ll win a buckload of trophies as well. Not that it’s a remote possibility this summer anyway.
Lewa was playing for Bayern in the Bundesliga. Kane has hit exactly 30 only twice in his career, and 3 of the last 5 seasons have been under 20. I'd say with certainty he's not going to get Jimmy Greaves's record.
It sounds like you've got no idea how transfer fees actually work despite multiple people in here explaining how it works.
And Haaland immediately scored over 30 in his first season. Not playing for Spurs would help in most leagues.
Haaland is a freak of nature and Kane won't be playing for City. But it's not impossible: he would, realistically, need six more seasons at his current level of productivity to catch Greaves. It's unlikely but not totally out of the question.

It is yep.
That’s just made playing away at spurs second game a whole lot easier.
The story is on The Athletic so I assume so.
Not quite he can stay till Jan or end of season and move to whatever club he wants.
1. No money, can't even sign Amrabat without selling Fred and VDB
