Tottenham could sanction £88m Harry Kane exit after source’s reveal – expert
Tottenham could sanction an £88million exit for Harry Kane in the summer of 2023.
That is the view of former White Hart Lane number one Paul Robinson, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the 29-year-old’s future in north London.
Kane’s contract with Spurs runs until the end of June 2024.
Bayern Munich have made public their desire to sign the England captain next year.
According to German outlet TZ (12 October), the Bundesliga giants are willing to pay £88million to sign the centre-forward.
Sources told this site (16 October) that Antonio Conte’s future will have a big impact on Kane’s situation.
When asked by Football Insider if that fee would be enough to persuade Spurs into selling, Robinson said: “I think £88million for a player with 12 months left on his contract would be good business.
“Regardless of who you are, that is a big transfer fee considering you are into the final year of your contract. That would be a pretty good deal for Spurs.
“Do not get me wrong though, Spurs have to exhaust every opportunity to tie him down to a new deal, He is invaluable and in many ways irreplaceable. There are few players in the world on his level. To replace him is almost impossible. They have to do everything they can to get him to sign a new deal.
“If he doesn’t sign one, £88million would be a great deal. Clubs allow players to leave on a free far too often. It really frustrates me when clubs don’t protect their assets.
“Knowing Spurs, I’m sure talks are already going on behind the scenes about Kane’s future. You do not leave something like that to the last minute.”
