Manchester United Abandons Harry Kane Pursuit Due to Staggering Transfer Fee
In an exchange with GIVEMESPORT, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano shared some intriguing insights regarding the Harry Kane transfer saga.
According to Romano, it was not due to Daniel Levy’s tough stance as chairman that Manchester United abandoned their pursuit of Harry Kane. The primary reason was the astronomical cost involved in the entire deal, encompassing wages, agent fees, and, of course, the final transfer fee owed to Tottenham Hotspur.
“The total sum, including wages, agent fees, and, of course, the final transfer fee to be paid to Tottenham Hotspur, was simply too exorbitant.”
As a result, the Harry Kane deal was scrapped by Manchester United, and they shifted their focus to other options, including Rasmus Hojlund. However, Fabrizio Romano still sees Bayern Munich as the top contenders for Kane’s signature and hopes they will submit another offer.
“I believe they are the heavyweight contenders in this race, and Paris Saint-Germain is also closely monitoring the situation in case Bayern fails to complete the deal. At the moment, Bayern appears to be the most potential destination for Kane.”
After passing up on Kane, Manchester United is now targeting Rasmus Hojlund as their number one option to bolster their striker position.
So, with the Kane saga taking unexpected turns, all eyes are on Bayern Munich, who seem to hold the key to the striker’s future. Will they make a decisive move to secure Harry Kane’s services, or will Paris Saint-Germain intervene to alter the course of this captivating transfer pursuit? Only time will tell as the thrilling football transfer drama unfolds.
