Earlier this month, The Athletic reported Manchester United could offer Harry Kane an escape route if he decides to leave Tottenham Hotspur.
It was also explained the striker could leave Spurs if they fail to qualify for next season’s Champions League. The north London club are seventh in the table and trailing fourth placed Chelsea by five points.
Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet backs The Athletic’s report and adds the Red Devils ‘closely follow’ the 27-year-old’s situation at his club.
That’s because the England international is ‘high up’ on United’s ‘wish and priority list’ for the summer. The player himself is also ‘no stranger to the idea’ of swapping London for Manchester.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is a tough negotiator and for him to even consider selling there has to be an offer of at least £125m.
Kane hasn’t publicly expressed his wish to leave his current employer, but he did admit his desire is to win trophies after his side lost the EFL Cup final to Manchester City.
Dagbladet are of the belief the signals from Kane have given Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side hope of signing the Premier League star.
Tottenham sacked José Mourinho and are yet to appoint his permanent successor. The report adds Kane is expected to hold talks regarding his future with the incoming manager.
