Jamie Redknapp has told The Daily Mail that he thinks that Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane will join Manchester City in the summer transfer window.
The former Tottenham midfielder believes that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will wait until the very end to get the most he can from City for Kane.
The Sky Sports pundit believes that Kane will join Premier League champions City eventually this summer.
What Jamie Redknapp thinks
Redknapp told The Daily Mail: “We’ve seen this film before. I don’t think the ending will change.
“Levy will string it out, even if that isn’t what’s best for the new manager and the team, to get the money he’s after.
“The bottom line is I’d be surprised if we don’t see Kane in a sky blue shirt by the end of this month.”
Could a Manchester City transfer happen?
City are very keen on signing Kane from Premier League rivals Tottenham this summer.
We know that.
After all, City manager Pep Guardiola himself has publicly acknowledged his interest in the 28-year-old striker.
The Times are reporting that City will bid £120 million for Kane next week.
The Citizens will also include add-ons in the deal.
It will be interesting to see what Levy does.
A transfer fee of £120 million is a lot of money, but Kane is arguably the most important player at Spurs, and replacing him with another like-for-like striker is going to be extremely tough.
Leaving a potential sale of Kane until the very last minute could also affect Tottenham’s chances of signing a replacement striker.
