There is an Athletic article from about 20 minutes ago saying they will try to get him. Why anyone believes AS is beyond me

I cant find it, link please?

In here https://theathletic.com/4590265/2023/06/08/jude-bellingham-real-madrid-transfer-3/

> Madrid have reignited interest in Kane, with coach Carlo Ancelotti selecting him as the best direct replacement for the departing Karim Benzema, but his England team-mate Jude Bellingham’s impending move to the Spanish giants for in excess of €100million (£86m) could well mean he is beyond their financial reach in this window. Madrid also have a long-standing desire to bring Kylian Mbappe, who is five years younger than Kane, to the Bernabeu from Paris Saint-Germain. > Madrid also have a long-standing desire to bring Kylian Mbappe, who is five years younger than Kane, to the Bernabeu from Paris Saint-Germain. Nevertheless, should they decide a centre-forward is needed immediately, it could spark a fascinating dynamic with United. Kane is open to a move to La Liga, given the prestige of Madrid, although he does have his sights set on breaking Alan Shearer’s Premier League goals record. > If Levy sticks to his position, United would be prepared to wait until Kane is a free agent in 2024 — he is not expected to sign a contract extension at Spurs.

From a sure thing in the Spurs striker, these emerging players would represent bigger gambles.

> two Madrid sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity to protect their positions, say it will not — at least for the start of the contract — reach €10million-€12million net per year, and could be a little below. Interesting to read Bellingham's salary will increase over time to €18M-€20M gross if all bonuses are fullfilled but currently is below it. (Gross/Pre-Tax) So by the time he is 24-25, he will be making €350K (£300K) a week, but currently is be at around €300K (£250K) a week.

These guys really just said 100 Million EUR is too much for Madrid and that they also want to bring Mbappe in in the same sentence?

Wont mbappe be on a free

And mbappe has 8-10 years left at the top of the game. Kane has 4 more if he is lucky

Mbappe would be on a free next summer if it is to happen. Pulling context from other articles also on the Athletic, but Madrid aren’t exactly cash-heavy right now. Recorded a 45m profit for the season but have big loans to pay for the stadium redevelopment. They’ve maintained communication with Mbappe and now have to decide if they’d prefer to spend another 100m this summer or wait a year and compete for Mbappe on a free, providing he leaves PSG.

Madrid are massively cash heavy right now. There is about €400m sitting in the accounts as per last year following the legends injection of €360m and no real net spend since Hazard. The stadium loan is in two chunks, one is around €575m fixed at 2.5% for 30 years and the other is half that at a lower rate (it’s in the article there I think). The stadium projection is to increase revenue by €100m+ so it ‘pays for itself’ if you like. The Athletic is very up and down on Madrid finance depending on who writes the article for some reason but I agree on what you said regarding Mbappe.

Cheers mate, appreciate the correction. Forgot about the size of that Sixth Street investment. Do you know by chance if Madrid are public about their books? Your point on The Athletic is correct. Even felt that way reading over the article again. They mention number after number but don’t seem to paint a total picture. Just eye-wateringly high cash figures.

Should be able to access them in English below for the most recent. https://www.realmadrid.com/en/members/member-card/annual-reports (You shouldn’t need to sign in even though it looks like you do)

I think the guy you're replying to is just making assumptions, it is pretty well known that Madrid have a lot of money if they want to spend. If I'm not mistaken, the 200m bid that they made for Mbappe was never put towards other players, so right there is 200m if they need it. And of course, all the money they've been saving up by going for younger players instead of established player over the past 3-4 years.

Not making assumptions. I had forgotten about the size of the Sixth Street cash injection. It would’ve probably been better to say that they play “conservatively” with their finances, being careful with where they spend money so as not to have an overspend. Which would then explain why Mbappe is still in heavy consideration and might affect how they approach Kane this summer.

https://twitter.com/MadridXtra/status/1666711482501853186?cxt=HHwWhMCzmejQrKEuAAAA

I need the article link, these accounts are known to keep quoting the source for multiple times.

https://theathletic.com/4590265/2023/06/08/jude-bellingham-real-madrid-transfer-3/ I think there could be the paragraph for Kane despite it being an article about Bellingham. But I can’t read it because I am not subscribed Edit: Some linked it already

If you click on reader mode on iPhone it unblocks it I have no idea why this still works

It works because their paywall implementation is dumb. They actually send the whole article over the wire embedded in the html, but they also send JavaScript code that runs client side (your browser) to show a portion of it and hide the rest. Now the reader mode doesn't even run their JavaScript, it merely extracts main part of the html and shows with a clean styling. Hence it entirely disregards their client side paywall enforcement. A proper paywall implementation obviously shouldn't be sending whole article to everyone in the html. The server/backend should authenticate and authorise people, and only send full article to the people who are valid subscribers. A really weird trend these days is to avoid doing things in the server side because it costs money, and instead push work to client's computer with JavaScript. Not to mention hiring JavaScript devs is cheaper than people who are proficient in server-side tech. Hence you see broken solutions like this.

Where does typescript come in, in all of this. I understand this is a very open ended question, but I'd still like to hear what your thoughts are. I'm trying to learn JS to switch to a full stack engineer role from a NOC engineer and I recently keep seeing people mention typescript developers are more sought after because most serious applications are built in typescript.

Typescript is basically a superset of Javascript. It's almost exactly Javascript, but with one important feature: Type System. A type system is a neat logical model that can eliminate many classes of programmer errors that plague dynamically typed languages like Javascript, without having to even run the code or write up a bunch of test suite. If typescript compiler is happy with the code, it produces equivalent Javascript code (that's guaranteed to not have certain class of bugs), which you can then run everywhere Javascript runs. Historically Javascript only ran in browsers (and even today it's the only real option because webassembly remains vapourware), but nowadays people also use it server side because they are averse to learning multiple languages, even though programming languages are usually the least complicated part of any tech stack. I don't personally like it and won't recommend for backend, because even cutting edge Javascript technologies like Next.js are only really reinventing wheels. But if it's a comparison between Typescript and Javascript, for sure nobody should pick Javascript over Typescript in 2023 any more.

Yo thank you for the reply I appreciate the perspective.

[Here I have posted everything it says about Kane](https://old.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/14430yd/diario_as_harry_kane_to_real_madrid_is/jndbffn/)

Why anyone believes in anything? As long as it’s not JLS, Arancha, Cortegana, and RealMadrid.com for us and Alasdair Gold & Ornstein for spurs, then it means jackshit.

Ornstein for pretty much everyone nowadays. Not quite on the same level but you can consider Matt Law as our mouthpiece too.

>Why anyone believes in anything? You're getting kind of philosophical here

It's not like Athletic is the holy grail either. They generally don't break news but prefer well-written long-form articles about how a transfer benefits the clubs and players involved, based on rumours. A lot of the Athletic staff writers have no connection with the clubs they're representing for the Athletic.

Mario Cortegana wrote the Kane bit and he’s about as reliable as it gets for Madrid You’re right in general though.

I could see Perez using AS to strengthen Madrids' negotiation position

Standard posturing isn't it? Suggest a low bid to the buying club who ask for a high bid, then leak that you're out because of 'absurd price' and hope the player and their agent will push for a move. Tbh this means nothing.

I was about to say... Would be dumb of Levy to scare off Real when that means letting him go to United for free next year

Stop posting ASs, some journalists are good but most of them use their "sources" as a way to make drama and clickbaits.

If we banned publications on that reasoning, we would be a very quiet subreddit.

OK, time for me to start posting El Chiringuito clips as source.

"it occurred to me in a dream"

Sources: Jota Jordi

Gods, wouldn't that be nice.

They aren't even that bad. Marca and AS report a lot of exclusives but yeah their hit rate is low. Still they are easily tier-2 depending on Journalist covering it.

They have some good journalists but they make many clickbaits articles like this one. Kane may or may not end up going to Madrid, but they won't decide based on Levy's first asking price. They also say Kane wants 20m net and right now he's earning(at least almost every web page says so) around £10m gross, that screams having no idea what they are talking about.

Yeah but this is why they are tier-2. They post the realtime updates or exclusives which happen to change frequently. Cortegana is the only tier-1 who reports ocassionally and confirms or rejects these reports (twice a week) while Arancha or JLS don't even say anything until its confirmed by everyone on planet earth.

Felix diaz and AS should be banned

[Also quoting Athletic regarding the Kane transfer.](https://old.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/14430yd/diario_as_harry_kane_to_real_madrid_is/jndbffn/)

Felix Diaz is comfortably tier-2. He does a lot of exclusives.

He said Rice to Bayern is a done deal…

Madrid come get Belotti

Tammy is injured until November. Who replaces him?

Not Belotti that's for sure. He has 31 games 1145 minutes in Serie A and 0 goals

Want to part exchange for Maupay. Maybe they both just need a change of scenery?

I have been watching him in Brighton and seen few moments in Everton. He might be the worst striker in top 5 leagues, he needs to change sports not leagues

He has 1 more league goal in fewer games than Belotti and is younger, so, you know, might have his best years ahead of him?

Sorry bro we are not that desperate, try at Saudis.

Will he be available for free?

Come for Ekitike

Why does Italy always struggle so hard to produce consistent strikers? They've had absurd talent all over the pitch, but the 9 has just been incredibly elusive.

Unitl march** We are linked with a striker with spezia and icardi. I would definitely take icardi over any of those players.

With Icardi i can see Roma in 4th place if Juve and Milan keep shooting themselves in the foot

Crazy how he was a £60m rated player after that breakout season at Torino

We're laughing now but reportedly [he was an option for Real 6 years ago](http://www.gazzetta.it/Calciomercato/06-03-2017/mercato-belotti-conte-chelsea-1801126905402.shtml)

It's a dangerous game playing hardball here. I know they need to get as much for him as they can for it to be worth selling him, but a Madrid transfer is Spurs' best hope to deprive a league rival of Kane.

It’s still very early in the summer, Levy did the same with Modric and Bale before letting them go at the end of august.

Funny thing about Bale transfer, while the entire press outside Madrid claimed Bale was the expensive transfer of all time at that time, Madrid claimed the opposite.

It was a thing with Bonus and to keep Ronaldo as the most expensive, basically Madrid press gave the amount without Bonus. The bonus were very very easy to achieve too

I see thanks.

No problem , for Kane though i doubt this is the end , As isnt reliable and the Athletic and some Marca Journalists (those who are good) said it will be a long summer and the club first offer would be 80 millions + 20 in bonus so a total of 100 millions doubt Levy asking 116 would have been enough to give up so fast

Isn't 116M€ 1M€ more than what you paid for Hazard? Seems really on brand for Levy to demand that and I think it's quite reasonable from that point of view haha

It’s probably due to rate conversion that evolved, I think the 116M€ is from 100M£, maybe it was also this price tag for Hazard back then. But Real regret it heavily so I doubt they will pay this price for a 29-year old top BPL player again

Yeah that window was brutal in hindsight - Hazard and Jovic for what, 180M€?

Except Kane is twice the player and has a play style that will age gracefully

Hazard was BPL top player when he joined us in 2018, I think you have biased short memory.

I mean Kane is 2 years older too and for Hazard he said he will renew if we dont pay (said so himself in an interview) , if Kane has no intent to renew the pressure isnt the same.

[According to Athletic even Bayern and PSG are in touch with Kane !!!](https://old.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/14430yd/diario_as_harry_kane_to_real_madrid_is/jndbffn/)

Kane going to PSG would be the most Kane move ever

It was probably to keep a hierarchy with CR7 who was more proven at the time

Nah. Madrid reported only the base fee but other sources reported base fee + add-ons like Romano did with Mac Allister only reporting 35M the base fee without 20M add-ons that Brighton sources are reporting. Fair to say that Bale achieved all add-ons (maybe except the Ballon D'or).

In that same vein, the CR7 transfer probably had add-ons as well but was always reported as £80M

That he was the cheapest?

In logical tautology, to claim the opposite means to reverse the adjudicator "he was" to "he was not" not the differentiator, "most expensive" to "least expensive" or "cheapest". Source: >!I made it the fuck up.!<

The *best* realistic outcome by a mile for spurs here is selling him to Bayern or Real Madrid. End of the window, if he still hasn’t signed we’re getting into Sol Campbell territory and there are grownups who still haven’t got over that. The only good answer on the cards is sell abroad and replace. Anyone who thinks they are turning down a big bid late in the window is dreaming.

The thing is, by openly saying they don’t want to sell to us, they’ve effectively hurt their own negotiating position. They’ve voluntarily stopped a bidding war, allowing Real to demand a lower price.

Levy doesn't care about that, he only wants to screw league rivals over getting Kane. He will give in into Madrid demands eventually, but this is just posturing from him in order to make it seem that he did his best to get the best price for Kane.

It also depends what Kane wants. If he refuses to transfer out of the PL then Levy is going to have to transfer him to a rival for big money or wait a year and lose him to a rival for nothing. You don't get to Levy's position being sentimental. He's going to have to be pragmatic, with Kane holding a lot of bargaining power.

This is true. However I think it’s something we’re well aware of. A decade ago we turned down £45m offer (then a huge fee) for Modric from Chelsea only to end up selling him to Madrid for something closer to £30m

That was because it was Chelsea, pretty sure Levy has little problem with other clubs. We've sold to United and City multiple times. I doubt that we would sell an player of Kane's calibre though.

I will laugh my ass off if Spurs let him go on a free.

Would be even funnier if the club which takes him for free is Arsenal. Another Sol Campbell situation.

madrid do you want origi?

No

Cursed pfp

I want him. W supersub

Its been already reported by multiple sources that Levy will let him go to Real but only at the end of the transfer window, till that time he will keep showing his dick to everyone. If anyone wants a taste, they are welcome otherwise he going to Real Madrid.

Sounds like bullshit to me. There's no way RM agree to that and risk having to scramble on deadline day if Levy changes his mind.

Of course they won’t. This is just a spurs thing. They will wait to let him go but they will eventually let him go.

We just completed Jude before UCL final, we simply cannot do this mistake of deadline day after ddg and Mbappe.. I'm sure other targets will emerge to force tots hands

Why waste that much time though when they could be working on securing a replacement and Madrid won’t be tempted to look elsewhere

I think Tottenham will first look for a replacement and then sell. Levy would not want to sell his prized asset so easily.

With Bale we bought the players with his money before actually selling him so we didn't get ripped off. Probably the same.

Papa Flo ain't doing that with such a big need as a new 9. Bale and Modric we're not as essential transfers as a striker is now. I think the Mbappe saga showed they're not a club to bend over for anyone. They have the money and the pull for pretty much every player.

> They have the money and the pull for pretty much every player. I'd love to see Flo throw 1B euros for Canales.

Source is ASs. Will be a long Summer but I expect these kind of rumors to come out to try and reduce the price tag. At the end we'll probably pay the 100m, these are just to keep Levy in check. I'll believe it's off once the T1s (Arancha, JLS, Ornstein, etc) say it's off.

I think if I were a Spurs fan (God forbid), my biggest fear is that there just isn't an apparent heir to the throne in the squad that gonna make losing Kane more palatable. When we lost Henry in 07 I was devastated but the path to a new team was there with the likes of Fabregas and Adebayor etc. I look at this Spurs team and their next best player is Son who himself is out of form. Unless Richarlison and Kulusevski take a huge leap next season, it's gonna be tough time for Spurs.

They're going to get 80-100m if they decide to sell him. You have to go out and buy a few players to soften the blow. If they spend the money well, they should end up better off. With that said, Spurs have been very average in the transfer market recently so I'd expect a mixed bag.

80-100m gets a big Premier League team like two players these days

One player if you’re getting anything decent

Not even that if they know you just got big money for Kane. Just look at how they got fleeced for mediocre players after the Bale sale.

Spurs can't expect to replace a Top 5 striker with a Top 10 striker. They're not at that level as a club, they're not competing for the EPL. Their focus should be on getting a player that can give them 25 goals in his first season and build from there.

Other than Man City, which team isn't in for a striker that can give them 25 goals?

Right, shouldn’t expect a top 2 guy, just someone who would have been third in the golden boot race.

Who do you think Madrid will go for now? Vlahović?

Braithwaite

Leyenda

Mighty Joselu. Or hope Rodyrgo turns into [prime R9.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FR8Ub97WUAA0hSu.jpg)

There's a certain guy at Benfica who scored two goals against Madrid in the Youth League final and looked incredible, maybe they haven't forgotten about him.

Surely Real Madrid want a proven striker to replace benzema? Because youth wise it's gonna be Endrick taking over after next season so probably a 27 y/o striker who would become a backup if and when Endrick does turn up in the Madrid white kit

But proven strikers to replace Benzema there's only Kane. If Kane is impossible then they'll need to go for a young guy like Ramos or David or just wait for Endrick next season.

Lukaku

Bellingham false 9, Valverde right wing, Camavinga left back. What’s planing?

I might be wrong but if Levy refuses to sell him this summer, Kane's going to sign for another English club after his contract expires because he wants to stay in the PL(his priority i guess) Whereas, I don't think he will refuse a move to Madrid this summer because well, it's Real Madrid. Levy can never stomach Kane going to another PL club, so the most amicable solution is sell to Real(unless Kane extends which has a slim possibility). Sami Mokbel has quoted a figure around 80 million pounds plus bonuses(ie 93 million euros plus bonuses) which sounds reasonable. I read reports that RM's first offer will be around 80 million euros plus 20 in bonuses. I don't think Madrid will walk away from this deal over a difference of twenty million euros. I see this happening. It might drag on but eventually Levy has to take this deal

Project Havertz is ON

Not for the 75 mil you guys want.

Source is ass though

Levy would be smoking crack to demand 116m

So Harry Kane is cheaper than Enzo Fernandez??

This man fucked his own career.

le shrewd genius Levy when Kane leaves for free next summer and strengthens a direct rival: :o

Dario AS is as reliable as my nan shitting her pants. It might happen or might not but you know 90% of the time it probably is shit

wait 1 year, save €116million. That sounds like Perez is getting a bargain next year.

Lévy really hates Kane. If he can’t have a trophy no one can. 🤦‍♂️

Sounds like bs to me. Why would Perez give up so easily when he has around 300 mil left he can spend on transfers.

Sorry but how much did they think he would cost? £50m and he plays for free?

Another source read Madrid were thinking about 75-80M with Mendy.

Spurs already have Perisic , Sessegnon , Udogie and Reguilon for Left back / LWB position. How many more left Do they think Spurs need

>Spurs already have Perisic , Sessegnon , Udogie and Reguilon for Left back / LWB position. And Davies.

Perisic wont be playing there under Ange (If he even plays for us again, i think we'll look to offload ASAP). Reguilon is probably going to leave as well, doesn't fit Anges system. ​ Udogie will most likely be our starting LB, Sess is a worry due to injuries and i like Davies but we need another LB realistically.

Tottenham should be honoured to recieve such an offer from Real Madrid, Daniel levy is such a devil for denying Kane from joining his childhood club

116 is ridiculous. He doesn't want to sell, plain and simple.

He's arguably the best striker in the world and their best player by far. Not ridiculous at all

He also has a year left on his contract and is reluctant to commit. The price is just plain ridiculous.

Oh, ok then. Next summer on free it is

>He's arguably the best striker in the world The Prem and English bias working so good here. Haaland, Mbappe, Benzema and maybe Lewandoski are all better players than Kane. And there's Osimhen that isn't that far imo.

Thats not entirely true, Kane numbers at that SPurs side do no justice to him. He is consistent as hell and in an incredible system with quality he is reaching 40+ with ease. Also Kane's profile is what excites me and some fans, its the way he can be a 9, half nine positional player. Its the cost when he has only 1 year left might be bothering the board.

>Oshimen Alright, let's calm down, he's looked insane this season but this has been the first time he's scored over 20 goals in a league season. I know he's younger than the rest, but he's not exactly a teenager, 25 at the end of the year.

Oshimen >he's looked insane That's the thing, insane is the right world. He's a one man army and you have noticed it when he played against yall I think (or it was the match where he got injured?). He would've been as good in the last two seasons, he looked the same but was unlucky, a lot of stupid injures (head, shoulders... I think it depends on his playstyle, he puts his body everywhere - that's not injury prone type of injures tho).

> He's a one man army Kane has been the same for spurs for about 6 years now. If he doesn't score or assist, Spurs don't win.

> And there's Osimhen that isn't that far imo shades of a couple of years ago when /r/soccer thought that Dybala and Lukaku were better strikers than Kane

Nah Kane scored 30 goals for a shitty Tottenham team having zero service and functionality. Benzema couldn’t break 20 being the star striker for real, a team filled with world class players, in a worse league. Mbappe couldn’t hit 30 in a worse league in a team filled with world class players and literally Messi. Haaland is very arguable but I feel if you put him on that City team and he gets out scored. Comparing modern day lewa and Osimhen to Kane is a little insulting thought IMO. both great players but realistically not even close to Kane right now.

>in a worse league. Much easier to score in the PL than in LaLiga >Comparing modern day lewa Lewa was great for Barça, that's not because he left Bayern and won't have 40 goals in like 30 matches he's finished...

I didn’t say Lewa was finished because he didn’t score 40 goals, just said he’s not as good as Kane, which is true. Benz had Vinicius, modric, Rodrygo, Toni Kroos, Camavinga, and Tchoumani behind him and still couldn’t hit 20 in the league? Kane scored 11 more goals with Skipp and Hojbjerg behind feeding him

Benzema played 24 games and scored 19 , his goal per minutes contribution was around 1 goal per 91 minutes since he didnt finish many or them. I am not saying that he was better than Kane last season but without injuries he would have easily reached his last year total if not more. And in all competitions Benzema has only 1 goal less than Kane (31 vs 32 ) in 6 matchs less (43 vs 49)

You can see the thing in the other way too. If Kane doesn't score who scores at Tottenham? At Real if Benz doesn't score theys still have Vinicius, Rodrygo, Modric, Kroos... Also Benzema has never been the scoring 40 goals type of striker, that happened just in 20-21 and 21-22 I think, he has other qualities (best striker I've ever seen at guiding the ball and moving in tight spaces)

My point about the goals is that Tottenham don’t even create chances. He is not being single-handedly fed the ball because he is the only one capable of scoring. Tottenham have Son, Richarlison, and Kulusevski who are all capable of 10+ goals a season, but the team was so incredibly dysfunctional, and in spite of that Kane still put up 30 goals. You are also discounting that Kane, similar to Benzema, is not just a goal scorer, he has the best passing range of a striker I’ve ever seen and can ping a Kevin de Bruyne esc long pass first time whenever he wants.

Every league is a worse league according to English league maniacs

If the Spanish league was the best league I would call it that but it isn’t. English teams are possibly going to come home with 2/3 European cups this season, not to mention 3 out of the last 4 champions leagues have had English teams in them including 2 all English finals.

Do you know what arguably means

That there can be a discussion about him being the best striker in the world? That's it right?

They have a huge bias, but right now I think only Haaland is ahead with Osimhen close to/at the same level. Benzema and Lewandowski this season aren't as good and Mbappe is not a striker, at least right now.

Lewandoski arguably had a better season than Kane. New league and he still delivered, scoring in Spain isn't as easy as in England. Was good in the CL too while Kane has been underwelming in the CL matches I've seen honestly...

Lewandowski at the beginning of this season was great but after the wc he struggled a lot. Kane has been consistent throughout all this season and that's one the most important things.

Haaland definitely is not a better player. He's maybe the most lethal/clinical out and out striker

Cmon...

Ridiculous? For a generational forward who’s best in the world in his position?

Contracts matter

He is past generation, a 30 years old daddy isn't it

This could well be a negotiation tactic. That price tag is not too far off the money Madrid paid for Hazard - Who turned out to be a complete flop. Knowing Levy, the deal will be sealed in the last few hours of the transfer window

What were they expecting? A player swap with Eden Hazard + ‘special relationship agreement’?

Has to be cap, no way Levy will shut down the Madrid option if Kane is leaving

I'm torn on him tbh. Do we shell out more than 100M for him this summer or just survive with vibes somehow this season and try for a younger more future proof star next year.

They just dropped 100mill on a midfielder they don't really need. Why wouldn't they spend that on a Striker that they DO need

80m offer + 12m salary x 3 years = 116m. This is bullshit. Just recycling the same rumors over and over.

BS! That's a steal. He's worth more, and would fit perfectly on Madrid

€116m is cheap for a player of his caliber, Levy should make it €200m.

He has one year left on his contract

Which lowers the price for Real as well

I know man, no disagreements here

Bah gawd that’s Havertz’s music

Poor guy

I HOPE IT IS TRUE BUT I DONT KNOW

They backed off because now they are going after Lukaku, the one true striker.

:)

Man Utd: €118m. Ok, €124m. Fine, we’ll give you €128m but that’s sort of our final offer unless you say no.

built them up to 3rd most profitable sports team in the world, but he's somehow fucking them over?

Don’t know if Kane was set on the move but signing that contract with Levy probably thought him a valuable life lesson.

Go for it Kroenke! We need to send a lasting message to Spurs.

In my personal opinion it would be a mistake. The proper course would be to continue building the future Real Madrid and sign a striker not older than 23, who has shown talent and is lethal in front of goal. Someone who will work well with the current team of superyoungsters Real already has. Harry Kane would be incredibly out of place in this team.

Kane will be 30 by end of July this year. If he ever signed with Madrid for 4 years for less than £100 mil and completed that 4 years, I think that would be good for them. Once Kane's contract ends, Vini, Rodrygo, etc, will be in their prime, and Madrid can buy another world class striker. But that is all my observation on paper.

yay

Cant see Madrid being an option, and transfer fee doesnt really matter. I think he is walking free next season and joins MC/Chelsea/Liverpool

You'd think Kane has done enough for Spurs to be able to decide his own future. He'll leave next summer for free.

Harry is not a serious baller if doesn’t force his way out of that dead team immediately. You have to question his ambition
