Manchester United have bolstered their centre-forward this summer and Harry Kane is the number one target, but it will not be easy. Because of Levy's position, the attitude of the players and potential competitors, etc., the new variables were reported in the media earlier.
According to the Daily Mail, Levy's efforts to block Kane's move to Manchester United this summer will be complicated by Pochettino's imminent arrival at Chelsea. Kane's future at Tottenham is unclear as United prepare to acquire the England captain, who is entering his contract year, but Tottenham are valuing Kane at £100m and may only accept offers from foreign clubs. However, Pochettino is set to head to Stamford Bridge, where he has been very close to Kane before at Tottenham, and the Argentine coach will seize the opportunity to work with Kane again.
To be honest, Chelsea were not originally on Kane's scandal list, and even if there were rumors, there would be little credibility. With Tottenham and Chelsea both London teams, direct competition with Manchester United is even more pronounced, and Levy is unlikely to release Kane to Chelsea. In addition, Kane left Tottenham to win the title, but Chelsea's performance this season obviously cannot meet Kane's ambitions, and next season not only can not play in the Champions League, may not even qualify for Europe, Kane joined Chelsea Tu what?
But Pochettino's imminent arrival in the Blues adds to the variability of the deal. As we all know, Kane grew up under Pochettino, the two worked together for 5 years at Tottenham, and Kane's career highlights were created under Pochettino. Tottenham played flamboyant and fluid attacking football during that period, the team was basically stable in the top 4 of the table, reached the Champions League final in 18-19, and did so with Levy making two consecutive transfer windows with zero signings.
So Pochettino's tactical play is very clear to Kane, and Pochettino is well aware of Kane's technical characteristics. If Kane wants to show his new potential again after entering the first year, he is a good choice to join his mentor.
From Pochettino's standpoint, Kane is undoubtedly his favorite, just as Ten Hag did when he joined Manchester United and brought Lima and Anthony at any cost. These old will be able to help him quickly build his tactical system because these people understand him. And Chelsea's biggest problem at the moment is the difficulty of scoring, without a centre-forward with a consistent goal rate. If you want to buy someone, Kane is undoubtedly the most suitable target, because it is instant combat power, even Osmayne is at risk.
If Pochettino sees Kane as a number one target, Burley will certainly go all out to meet the new manager's demands and offer a salary that other giants can't match, such as a double £400,000 a week. With both financial and emotional temptations, Kane's choice of Chelsea is not impossible. Even if Levi is 10,000 reluctant, he must face the fact that Kane is about to become a free agent. If Burleigh makes a very tempting offer, the possibility of Levi nodding in agreement is not excluded.
In short, Pochettino will certainly try to persuade Kane to vote once he arrives at the Blues. Manchester United will also try to compete, and we will wait and see if it can succeed.
