Mercato: Kane remains officially in Tottenham, the way free for CR7 at City? – Maxifoot

After a multi-week soap opera, striker Harry Kane, emphatically courted by Manchester City, has officially decided to stay at Tottenham this summer. A choice that could push the Citizens to activate the track leading to Juventus Turin striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

Harry Kane will not move on this summer transfer window! For several weeks, the striker wanted to leave Tottenham in order to take a step forward in his career and join a more upscale formation.

Seduced by the profile of the England international, Manchester City seriously insisted on recruiting him, but met the intransigence of Spurs president Daniel Levy, who recently turned down a proposal estimated at 150 million euros.

Kane made the choice to stay

And this Wednesday, the Daily Mail announced the end of this soap opera with the choice of Kane to accept the decision of his club. News confirmed a few minutes later by the 28-year-old on the Twitter social network! It was amazing to see the welcome from Spurs fans on Sunday (against Wolverhampton, editor’s note) and to read some of the supportive messages I have received over the past few weeks. I will stay Tottenham this summer and I will be 100% focused on helping the team win, said the center forward.

Unsurprisingly, the native of Walthamstow, very attached to this team and to the supporters, did not want to force his departure with a clash. Under contract until June 2024, Kane, without a real standoff, was not in a strong position to demand an exit voucher and therefore accepted Levy’s choice to keep it at all costs.

Ronaldo to console himself?

For City, this is obviously bad news. After the arrival of attacking midfielder Jack Grealish from Aston Villa for 117.5 million euros, Kane embodied a top priority to strengthen the attacking sector of the Skyblues. However, the reigning English champion could take comfort with Juventus Turin star Cristiano Ronaldo!

The Portuguese international wants to leave the Old Lady on this summer transfer window and already imagines himself with the Citizens. Available against a check estimated between 25 and 30 million euros, can the five-time Ballon d’Or really interest coach Pep Guardiola? In any case, the agent of CR7, Jorge Mendes, is active to place him City and the way is now clear after the failure of the Kane file …
