Manchester United have offered three stars to Tottenham as part of a proposed move for Harry Kane, while Monday’s transfer gossip has details of a brewing row over Virgil van Dijk and how a Chelsea man has snubbed a move to Leeds.
TRIO OFFERED IN SWAP DEAL FOR HARRY KANE
Manchester United are ready to offer Tottenham three stars in exchange to help finance a club-record deal for Harry Kane.
That’s according to the Daily Express, who claims Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made the England captain his No 1 summer target.
Kane has been the subject of plenty of transfer speculation after admitting he’ll review his future this summer. The pointed comments he has made about wanting to win trophies have given an indication of his mindset.
Missing out on the top four, which currently looks likely, will be another blow for Spurs in keeping their star man happy.
As such, he was mentioned as a controversial target for Chelsea over the weekend.
However, United are long-term admirers and it’s reported they will finally make their move this summer.
Signing him though will not be easy with reports stating Spurs chairman Daniel Levy could ask as much as £175m.
While United couldn’t afford that fee, the Express claims they will offer Tottenham three stars in exchange.
As per the paper, the three players offered to Tottenham are David De Gea, Anthony Martial and Donny van de Beek.
While the exact values are the trio are not known, it’s believed they would comfortably fetch well over £100m.
De Gea ‘offered to Spurs’
Of the three, De Gea would be of most interest. The keeper appears to have lost his place as United’s No 1 to Dean Henderson. And with Tottenham having doubts of their own over Hugo Lloris, De Gea would be a perfect replacement.
That appears an unlikely move though with De Gea’s wages too high for Spurs. Furthermore, he’s likely to want a move to a Champions League side only.
Martial and Van de Beek though do look more realistic transfer options. The pair cannot be considered regulars and have struggled for form this season. A move may be in their own best interests.
