Paper Talk: Man Utd ‘dream’ over for Harry Kane as duo pull out of race; Arsenal ask about explosive Valencia striker Harry Kane has been left with just one potential suitor after two clubs pulled out the race for Tottenham striker, while Arsenal are targeting a deal for an exciting Valencia attacker, according to Monday’s paper gossip. HARRY KANE WANTS MAN UTD TRANSFER – BUT RED DEVILS SAY NO Harry Kane has made a move to Manchester United his No 1 choice were he to leave Tottenham, according to reports. Kane could be involved in one of the biggest transfer stories of the summer, with his future at Tottenham far from guaranteed after he admitted he would not stay with them “for the sake of it” if they were not showing signs of progressing to match his ambition. The England captain has been criticised by some for those comments, but he may have a better chance of winning trophies elsewhere, with United potentially giving him the platform from which to achieve more honours. And according to Bleacher Report, via the Daily Mirror, Kane has now decided that if he was to leave Spurs, then Old Trafford would be his preferred destination instead of Real Madrid, who are also interested in a big-money signing. However, the £200m valuation of Kane – which would be a world-record-equalling transfer – represents a major problem. According to a report on Sunday, United have decided the asking price is too much for them at this present time with the signing of three other players their top priority; as such it was claimed on Monday that a club-record deal for Jadon Sancho had taken a significant leap forwards. But with United also wanting to sign Jude Bellingham and Jack Grealish this summer, it’s unlikely the Red Devils will have the funds to secure the signing of the England captain, meaning the striker’s first choice appears to be off the table. But if Kane thought he could ast least be able to count on Real Madrid, then he may need to think again too after the Daily Mail claimed the financial impact on the game in Spain had also forced Los Blancos to withdraw their interest. The Mail claims Real want to replace Karim Benzema in attack but are far more likely to stand by the Frenchman for another season at least. However, all is not lost for Kane with reports in Italian paper il Corriere dello Sport claiming Juventus are ready to make Kane their No 1 transfer priority this summer and will not be dissuaded from Tottenham’s £200m asking price. However, Juve will look to reduce their outlay by offering Spurs their pick from a number of fringe players in a bid to reduce the cost. Whether that is of interest to Jose Mourinho and, more importantly, chairman Daniel Levy, however, remains to be seen. But it all amounts to two choices being left for the England man: either stay at Tottenham, or push for a move to the conly club who are willing to sign him this summer in Juventus.

HARRY KANE WANTS MAN UTD TRANSFER – BUT RED DEVILS SAY NO

Harry Kane has made a move to Manchester United his No 1 choice were he to leave Tottenham, according to reports.

Kane could be involved in one of the biggest transfer stories of the summer, with his future at Tottenham far from guaranteed after he admitted he would not stay with them “for the sake of it” if they were not showing signs of progressing to match his ambition.

The England captain has been criticised by some for those comments, but he may have a better chance of winning trophies elsewhere, with United potentially giving him the platform from which to achieve more honours.

And according to Bleacher Report, via the Daily Mirror, Kane has now decided that if he was to leave Spurs, then Old Trafford would be his preferred destination instead of Real Madrid, who are also interested in a big-money signing.

However, the £200m valuation of Kane – which would be a world-record-equalling transfer – represents a major problem.

According to a report on Sunday, United have decided the asking price is too much for them at this present time with the signing of three other players their top priority; as such it was claimed on Monday that a club-record deal for Jadon Sancho had taken a significant leap forwards.

But with United also wanting to sign Jude Bellingham and Jack Grealish this summer, it’s unlikely the Red Devils will have the funds to secure the signing of the England captain, meaning the striker’s first choice appears to be off the table.

But if Kane thought he could ast least be able to count on Real Madrid, then he may need to think again too after the Daily Mail claimed the financial impact on the game in Spain had also forced Los Blancos to withdraw their interest.
