Speaking on the Transfer Window Podcast, journalist Ian McGarry has claimed that Harry Kane is willing to submit a formal transfer request in order to force a move away from Tottenham to Manchester City.
It’s something of an open secret that Kane wants to leave Spurs this summer, but despite the fact this desire is apparent, he’s yet to submit a formal request.
However, with just a fortnight left to get this move over the line, Kane is reportedly willing to take this measure.
What’s been said?
McGarry shared what he knows about Kane.
“It is our information at the Transfer Window Podcast that Harry Kane will, if need be, submit a formal transfer request to Tottenham Hotspur in order to force through his move to Manchester City,” McGarry said.
“With 14 days left of the window he is still determined to make that move. However, Daniel Levy is also determined to extract the maximum value from the sale of the player in order to furnish his team with the best chance of replacing him and competing this season.”
It’s getting serious
While this saga has been bubbling all summer long, it seems as though we’re finally at boiling point.
A formal transfer request is a sign that Kane is serious about leaving, and depending on the terms of his contract, he risks losing out on thousands of pounds in loyalty bonuses if he does this.
There’s every chance that Spurs continue to refuse to let him go even if he does request a transfer, but if Kane does this it’s fair to say things will never be the same for him again at Tottenham.
