Harry Kane, who is rumored to be interested in being acquired by Manchester United, circled the pitch at the end of Tottenham's final home game, slapping the crest on his chest and even bursting into tears on the spot in what was thought to be a farewell to the crowd at the new White Hart Lane stadium. He has asked for a move this summer, with giants such as Manchester City and Chelsea among the options, in addition to Manchester United.
British media analysis said that among the teams interested in Kane, Manchester United and Manchester City are the most suitable for the English shot-stopper's next home, both teams in the Tottenham Hotspur captain is good at scoring in front of the left side of the area to create a large number of scoring opportunities.
Of course, Manchester City have more firepower in this piece. And, with Kane looking to win the all-important title, Guardiola's team can give him absolute assurance. After all, even without Kane, City is the favorite to win the title, bar none. On the contrary, if Kane joins United, he will need to fight for the title on his own.
Not only that, but Kane's transfer fee and weekly wage, is a major hindrance. Tottenham Hotspur bid £150 million for him, and such a high-priced attraction has yet to happen in the history of the Premier League. The English media has already rumored that Manchester United is considering exchanging Martial or Lingard to offset part of the transfer fee.
Kane himself, on the other hand, will demand £300,000 a week, around 70,000 more than he earns at Tottenham, with a total of £80 million in funding required for a five-year contract. This means that a total of a massive £230 million would need to be splashed out to bring in a Kane!
It's also a big burden for United, as the Red Devils already have five players in their squad currently earning over the £200,000-a-week level in De Gea ($375,000), Pogba ($290,000), Cavani and Martial ($250,000), and Marcial ($200,000), before Bruno Fernandez's salary rises to that level, and Pogba's contract is up for renewal.
A team of seven weekly salary on 200,000, equivalent to weekly expenditure of 2 million, a year down is 100 million pounds! Together with other players in the weekly salary of more than 100,000 pounds there are a lot, which will inevitably lead to the club's financial burden, so Manchester United if you do not sell some of these high-paid stars, I'm afraid that you can not buy Kane.
It remains to be seen whether any club can really afford the 27-year-old Kane at a time when the giants' revenues are under attack. Tottenham boss Ryan Mason insisted after the game that Kane's move around the city was not a farewell to the team but a normal end-of-season move. Normal. If someone has been playing at a soccer club for as many years as he has, isn't it normal for him to walk around the pitch applauding the fans after the last home game of the season?
Manchester United boss José Solskjaer insisted this week that despite Cavani's contract extension, he has not ruled out the possibility of United buying another new winger.
