Real Madrid are expected to make an offer in the summer for Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane.
Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Vinny Samways has told The Sun that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy “will not be bullied” by Real Madrid in their reported summer approach for Harry Kane.
Kane, 24, is reportedly one of Real’s main transfer targets ahead of the summer window, as the England international continues to shine this season with a huge 35 goals in just 37 games.
He should start for Spurs on Wednesday night, barring any kind of pre-match injury, as the north Londoners go up against Juventus in the last 16 of the Champions League at Wembley.
Real are likely to be watching the match closely after they qualified for the quarter finals, and Samways reckons Kane will remain at Tottenham beyond the summer because Levy will not give in easy to Real’s demands.
“To be fair Daniel Levy over the years has shown he will not be bullied by no one if he doesn’t think the deal is right,” Samways said.
“I believe Harry will be at Spurs next season to take them into the new stadium and see how it develops from there. If Spurs are still pushing for trophies then I’m sure he will be happy to stay.”
Real are likely to want Kane as French striker Karim Benzema fails to show the kind of form expected of him at the Galacticos, while the club decided to sell Alvaro Morata to Chelsea in the summer.
The Daily Mail claim Spurs could finally end Real’s interest in the near future though, as they are set to increase his £110,000-a-week wages to almost double in the form of £200,000 a week. His future, though, remains a doubt.
Samways played for Spurs for eight years between 1986 and 1994 before spells with Everton, Wolves and Birmingham City before spending time in Spain with Sevilla, Las Palmas and managing minnows San Diego.
