The summer is full of soap operas and the Harry Kane soap opera, which began the moment he asked to leave Tottenham, could be entering its final chapters. The lack of titles, and of an exciting project that ventures triumphs in the near future, made the captain spur say 'enough' at 27 years old. He found Daniel Levy not very receptive, as is usual in these cases, on the other hand, who would not make his departure a path of roses. But nevertheless, last Friday, President Hotspur communicated to both Harry and his brother, and agent, Charlie, that he changed his mind.
The English newspaper The Sun he is the one who reveals that 180º turn to the situation. Euphoric, Kane communicated this to his inner circle, since they received the call from Levy while he was at Charlie's wedding. Of course, the Spurs boss has yielded, but not at any price, because he agrees to say goodbye to his star, always according to the information of the aforementioned media, in exchange for the 190 million euros that Manchester City puts on the table.

An amount that would convert to Kane in the second most expensive signing in history, behind Neymar (222 million from PSG to Barça) and ahead of Mbappé (180 to Monaco). In terms of salaries, it will also be a tripping operation, since the contract that the Walthamstow will sign with the citizens will be for four or five years, in exchange for just over 24 million euros per season. Becoming, incidentally, highest paid footballer in the Premier League, ahead of David de Gea and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Kevin de Bruyne.
In this way, the movement would unravel and in good manners, something that greatly pleases a Kane who did not want to go out with the crooked gesture of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. “Harry and Charlie got the call at the end of last week. Obviously Harry was delighted, because he never wanted to leave the Spurs, his beloved childhood club, on bad terms “, confesses a source consulted by The Sun.
Controversy with the offer
However, in England there is controversy with the operation, since since the Manchester Evening News, Citing City sources, they claim that, although the player is still the club's target, in no way will they pay such a sum, which would exceed by 114 million euros the most expensive transfer made by the entity (Kevin de Bruyne, from Wolfsburg, for 76 million). “Manchester City wanted to make it clear that claims that they have agreed to pay Tottenham 190 million euros for striker Harry Kane make no sense”, explains the aforementioned medium.

A profitable wait for Tottenham

He has probably managed to get about 25 million euros more to the operation to wait until now. “
Now it would be time to take the following steps for the operation to crystallize, because “the contract with City has not yet been signed”, as well adds the connoisseur of the situation. “The personal terms are already agreed provisionally and it is an incredible deal. Now we just have to cross out pending tasks,” he concludes.
The number of elements to complete will depend on the source that handles the most reliable information. Yes The Sun Is right, Guardiola would have his long-awaited '9' ready, which is also a two for one, since Kane has a great associative capacity that fits perfectly into the schemes with moving forwards that Santpedor likes so much. Another rooster would sing if it is the Mancunian newspaper that has the greatest reliability. Of course, at no time do they deny that interest continues to exist, but it would be necessary to row with much more power so that the transfer does not end up on the shore …
