Mino does not decide if Håland stays or leaves a club, Håland himself does. If he goes to Bayern/City/Real, is happy and would like to stay he will do so regardless of what Raiola thinks. People seem to think the agents decide their clients future and not the players themself. The agents do what their clients want them to do.

Yaya! That you? :)

Just spitballing, but can't shake the timing of this Kane stuff?

I don't see the leak as a Hail Mary from Kane, certainly with a deadline being floated of the Euros, his role as England captain being overshadowed by a month-long circus.

His preferred destination is City and he must have been given enough encouragement it can be reciprocated.

It's actually the easiest of all the deals to get done because Kane doesn't want to play abroad, Spurs have less leverage than they had two years ago, he wants to win now.

Pep is also a confirmed admirer/there are players who could easily be involved in the equation.

I've tried gaming it out, but the obvious is Kane, as I don't think we would lie to him purely to give Haaland/Dortmund such a time sensitive shove?

It begs questions which we don't yet know the answers to, Haaland isn't moving this summer/Dortmund are emboldened because they will sell Sancho/Haaland is too expensive/not committed.

I think it also coincided with Dortmund qualifying for the champions league?

I dont think that puts us out of the Haaland race in the future.

Remember Haaland is 20 years of age , 21 next year. His agent is the worst paracite in football.

If Haaland goes to a bayern , Madrid etc dont see Mino being happy having his number one client right now stay at a club for a long time, Haaland is on record saying he wants to play in the premier league.

We get Kane for what 4 to 5 years, Haaland is then 24/25 years of age, Mino is not going to keep him at one club. Bayern may sign him as a lewandowski replacement but Haaland will not stay there for the rest of his career.

Mino will do what Mino does. Kane could be 33 years of age at us won plenty for us scored loads of goals. Then we go in the market for the Kane replacement. I dont think Mino is not going to kick up a fuss at the club Haaland would be at. Haaland wants to play in the premier league he wont stay in the Bundesliga or la liga.

unfortunately top clubs do not perform transfer business thinking this way.
 
Exciting times ahead i think.
Kane has given a extra year for spurs. I think he has a gentlemans agreement with levy. If levy doesn't let him go now it would have a bigger impacts for renewing the contracs of his big players in the future. Lewy knows the status of a club like spurs . He knows spurs can never be title contenders this way. They now need money for rebuilding the team again.
I think city are deeply into the conversation with spurs as the spurs response suggest. Spurs response was to just focus on the final day game and they were dissapointed with the way the news has come out. The bad timing. This sounds deja vu. They did the same with walker. Reading between the lines it seems club is resigned with the idea of his departure.
regarding haaland, dortmond has already told they wont sell him this summer. They will sell sancho this time and haaland next summer. They wont be happy with selling 2 stars at the same transfer window. That may be the reason riola is quiet. His silence also plays the part. he may not want to have bad relation with yet another club. Plus next summer with 75 million buy out clause he will have another 75 million bonus for him and haaland's father to split up plus the prospect of more top clubs like barca, real and bayern at the frame to buy his client.
Real and Barca doent have money for big transfers so the buying clubs are limited this summer. That keeps us, united,pSG and chelsea. United have renewed cavani and they are signing sancho. That also means they are not that convinced of signing kane or haaland. So its city vs chelsea. lewy wont sell to chelsea (he didnt sell modric to them)
and we have pep guardiola.
 
The fact that there is a transfer fee (150mil) mentioned in the press indicates that Levy might have also issued a leak in response
 
The timing of this feels very un-City like. Can't imagine they want a distraction in advance of the CL final, however much we may be interested in Kane

Levy has plenty of friends - perhaps contacts is a better word, in the media. The media is awash with Spurs fans. I’m not sure of the benefits of nailing a £150m price tag to Kane however, no one is going to pay that so the consequences are either Kane gets priced out of a move (but his agent will pick up on Levy’s valuation and demand a huge pay rise to reflect his players valuation..). Or Kane secures a move for circa £100m and Levy gets criticised by Spurs supporters for selling Harry on the cheap and perhaps most importantly of all Levy’s reputation as a tough negotiator would be undermined. Spurs probably need to sell but they will do so reluctantly knowing they are not getting anywhere near £150m - so they need a narrative to support this and demanding crazy money is not that narrative.

Zero chance of 150m, no club would pay that and even before Covid times.

80m with add on's up to 100m would be a very good deal for Spurs and difficult to turn down.

Anyone know what wage Keane gets?

Those are the facts for Spurs but the likes of Levy struggle with facts and tend to write and believe their own narrative. I don’t think Kane is the PL top earner but, put a £150m valuation on him and he should be on £300k plus a week - which he isn’t but his agent will be working on that.

I think 150 million is a predictable number for Spurs to throw around for a player of Kane's status. They won't get it, and maybe Levy is basically saying he's not for sale this year. Kane's agent won't be able to negotiate an increase when there's three years left on his current deal. Kane is going to have to push very hard if this has any chance of getting over the line

I think it will be 120 with add ons. Premier league winner, champions league final etc , Harry seems like he pushing this move. Plus he's Englands captain you dont want Englands captain going to a major tournament angry and dissapointed with not getting his move.

If Levy’s valuation prices his client out of a move... Kane’s agent will kick Levy’s door down to secure his client a pay rise that reflects that valuation.

Levy is a very shrewd operator, don't underestimate him.

Kane has 3 years left on his deal, Spurs hold all the cards.
