With Tottenham Hotspur failing to qualify for Europe in the new season, rumors of a move for the team's top striker, Harry Carney, are abuzz. Manchester United have shown keen interest and have been the keenest suitors. However, Tottenham's insistence on a £100 million (HK$1 billion) transfer fee floor has deterred the Red Devils. According to The Sun, United will launch a final offensive and urge Halikani himself to make a transfer offer in a bid to force Tottenham to lower their asking price.
Manchester United have identified Khalilani as their first choice for a new signing, but internal assessments suggest that the nearly 30-year-old is worth little more than £80 million (HK$800 million). Nonetheless, manager Tannhäuser, who favors the England international, will try to make a last-ditch attempt to persuade Halikani to make a public statement of intent before adjusting his transfer strategy, thus prompting Tottenham to make concessions on the transfer fee.
