Harry Kane to Man Utd: Spurs chief Daniel Levy ‘ready to sell striker in £200m transfer’ amid coronavirus crisis

, Harry Kane to Man Utd: Spurs chief Daniel Levy ‘ready to sell striker in £200m transfer’ amid coronavirus crisis

TOTTENHAM are ready to sell Harry Kane to Manchester United for a world-record fee, according to shock reports.

The Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is thought to be furious with the striker’s recent comments and needs cash to balance the books amid the coronavirus crisis.

Harry Kane could be sold to Manchester United for a world-record fee of £200m in the summer

And according to the Mail On Sunday, the North London club are willing to sanction a £200million move, eclipsing the £198m fee Paris Saint-German paid for Neymar in 2017.

Juventus, Real Madrid and Manchester City have also been linked with a stunning move for the England captain.

However, given the current climate of uncertainty, that estimated figure seems unlikely but any deal would surely smash the Paul Pogba’s current British transfer record of £89m.

Manchester United are also looking to land a mega-move for Borussia Dortmund Jadon Sancho, although Paul Merson thinks that may well be off due to the effects of Covid-19.

Kane, who joined the books in 2004, is the third-highest goalscorer at Tottenham with 181 goals in just 278 games.

But despite his impressive individual record, he is yet to lift a piece of silverware in his professional career.

And with him turning 27 in the summer, the forward – who has not played since January due to his latest long-term injury – admitted he’s “ambitious” and won’t stick around at White Hart Lane for sentiment alone.

Kane said: “I love Spurs, I’ll always love Spurs.

“But I’ve always said, if I don’t feel we’re going in the right direction then I’m not someone who will just stay for the sake of it.

“I’m an ambitious player, I want to become one of the best players.”

Kane also recently spoke out about the 2019/20 season being scrapped if it cannot be completed by the end of June.

It is understood, though, his comments did not go down well with chief Levy, who is open to the idea of letting Kane go.

But while Spurs may suffer on the pitch without their talisman, cashing in would undoubtedly provide a major financial boost to the club.

Levy, the Premier League’s top-earning chief executive who earned £7m last year from his role, infuriated fans when he made the decision to furlough 550 of the non-playing staff in March.

The Mail’s report adds that Spurs owe £637m on the stadium loan and £83m on transfer fees.

So selling Kane for big money, and getting his reported £200,000 weekly pay packet off the wage bill, would help dramatically.
