Isn’t the most likely scenario that Kane now realizes his hand isn’t that strong and that Levy has the higher card? The interview with Gary Neville was Kane’s big move and it’s not enough.
Harry Kane | "I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success."

His hand has never been that strong. Just a terrible decision to sign such a long term contract with no get out clause. He’d need to more or less down tools to force an exit.
Exactly, he Zaha'd himself. I'll never understand how these player's agents can't see the big picture and advise them to maybe lose some money for a year to not only gain the freedom to chose but even more money through wages/signing bonus at a bigger club. Even if Tottenham won the Champion's League, you just know they would not be able to compete long term with United and City every single year...
It's looking more and more likely that he's going to be stuck at Spurs for at least one more year.
Well, City's team is much better than Shearer's Newcastle so I guess if Kane were to join City he could even eventually get Shearer's PL goalscoring record
But I don't know man, I think peak Kane was 2017-18 season. He's still class, but not quite that beast he was a few years ago. So he could struggle at least initially.
Anyways, still feel like he is going to stay at Spurs next season.
Signing that big contract at Spurs was certainly a debatable move at the time, though granted Spurs were looking competitive and stable during that period
Also obviously need to factor in the current Covid climate.

It’s better he accepts his fate now and gets on with it. Signing that contract was binding and his chairmen didn’t even let the like of Eric Dier leave when his value was high.
It’s better he just accepts it and gets on with it now. Focuses on his individual goals and looks at the bright side (will always start, club legend etc…)

I think Levy is going to be the one that comes out of this looking worst. While people are saying currently “Kane shouldn’t have signed that contract”, the same people will be saying “Levy had the chance to get over £100m for him, he was stupid to push for £150m when the signs were there that he’s physically degrading”.
I think he will stay. Would only give it 20-30% chance he joins City.
Thrilled to work with Nuno.

I hope for Harry’s sake he wins the Euros with England because I think he is going to be stranded at Spurs for another trophyless season.
Don't think City will go more than £100m.
Message to Kane to get his price lowered or he's not going go anywhere?
Maybe they would take JLingz, Martial, Bailey, Matic, Mata, Jones, Andreas and 100 million.
I'm not sure City will end up going for Kane or Haaland given Pep's comments. Even Lukaku
Wouldnt rule out Ings goin there
Makes you wonder why players like Kane dont insert release clauses into their contracts, to safeguard them in times like this. Yes Spurs were doing well when he extended, but that was never going to last. If he would have negotiated say a 70meur clause in their he would have been in a far stronger position now. As it is, who is going to spend 100m+ to get him.
Kane is going nowhere and Spurs know this.
Only thing is, Spurs do need an injection of cash fast.

They probably prefer the £100m only.
The idea of Pep whinging about not being able to afford a player, after the biggest set of spending in world football history. 
If there is any justice in the world this cheating mouthbreathing prick will end his career trophyless. The biggest diver in world football.
If people think it's annoying now, just wait until he is winning points for City with his cheating.
Gormless fecking cnut.

Don't sugar coat it, mate. Tell us what you really think.
Yeah, this is my prediction too.
Spurs have a chance to sell relatively high, coming off his best ever season, with the player about to turn 28 and looking at the downslope of his career. And to do it during a time when clubs across Europe are fecked so a 100-120m fee could be genuinely reinvested in 5-6 really good young players who could be cornerstones of a new team. Keeping him is stupid and shortsighted.
Kane will turn 29 next summer. He is also very unlikely to have a season as good as the last one, he might pick up a big injury or just start to show his age in very concerning ways. There's a lot of risk that they end up taking a 100-120m asset, torch at least half that value, and then get that money back in a market where it won't go nearly as far in terms of buying new talent. And all to probably just compete for a Europa League place at best.
If Kane win Euro for England, maybe his search for major trophy would have been accomplished, hence there's no further need for him to move to City?
I'd hate to see Kane go to City, but I can't help but to be curious to see how many goals he'd get in a top side. No one in Prem history has ever really threatened the 40 goals in a season mark. But Kane really could hit those sort of numbers playing for a team that would create as much for him as City would.
No way we would spend the stupid money neccesary to sign him but it would be very interesting to see what might be if we did.
I think he may be able to hit Lewandowski numbers if he goes there. If he plays an entire season for them without injury I see 30 as the minimum...
Isn't that just classic Pep though? Claim he'd never buy a player for more than £5m or something about a week before splashing out £500m on a set of backup defenders?
Well it's also classic City to get priced out of a deal so it's not something that would be without a precedent.
There are no clubs able to sign him, or that want to spend + 100m

Any other sources reporting this?
Martial + ? For Kane?

Would there be any potential legal repercussions for him if he were to just stopping making any effort on the pitch?
I thought it would of been Martial and Lingard as Bale has gone back to Madrid but heard rumours its DVB plus Martial.
I've not seen it reported anywhere else thou so I'm thinking its just a rumour.
Popped up as a cited source on ESPN today, and I hadn’t heard of it before. Seems like no one else is confirming it, so it can’t have any truth to it, no?
Kane can put in an offical transfer request. If he does so he will lose millions in bonus and loyalty payments somewhere in the region of £10mil i read. However the buying club could give that back to kane over the length of his contract.
The transfer fee will still be an issue, however if kane did put in an offical transfer request i expect kanes representatives to use the media to help put pressure on spurs to get kane to get his move. All comes down to kane putting in an offical transfer request which i think he will be forced to do after the tournament.

They will let him go, Levy is all about money. If he were to get a large cash injection plus two players with real value, he would take it.
80 million pounds won’t interest him at all, but 100 million and two assets that could potential rise in value. He is a money man first and foremost.
I just can’t see United putting in what is essentially a 170-180 million pound bid.

I can’t either. Depends who the two assets are of course. Picking figures out of the air, £80m plus a couple of turkeys might be offered?
I think 80m and Martial plus Lingard would be a good deal for both or even DVB plus Martial and 80m.
Do people really believe this?)
C'mon guys.
