If Man United wants to sign Harry Kane this summer, it won't be simple. This summer, Manchester United must surely buy a top-tier striker. That is a fact that cannot be avoided.
Harry Kane is the player Erik ten Hag genuinely wants to sign, but getting players from Tottenham Hotspur is much easier said than done. It feels like everyone knows that.
For United supporters, The Mirror's most recent report isn't any better. Spurs are 'determined to reject' Man United's interest in the talented striker, according to reports, as the Red Devils look to sign him this summer.
Daniel Levy, the chairman of Tottenham, is "adamant" that they won't transfer Harry Kane to a Premier League opponent. Even though it would mean losing him for nothing in a year, they are willing to take the chance.
Prior to the 2023–24 season, United manager Ten Hag has designated Kane as a "top striker target" during this transfer window.
Kane is reportedly 'very likely' to stay at Spurs for at least another season, which is unfortunate for Manchester United. The Englishman is in a good situation since he knows he will have his choice of clubs in a year.
This summer, Kane will turn thirty. His skill at scoring goals and all-around play are beyond dispute. He is simply an outstanding football player. But his thinking is beginning to be called into question.
The club Spurs has a "loser's mentality." Kane's reputation as a man who is happy with mediocrity is only becoming worse with every season that goes by while he is still a member of White Hart Lane. He must have a point in his career where he wants to win trophies, right?
Mason Mount talks to happen soon
Mason Mount's transfer negotiations with Manchester United will now begin in "due course," according to journalist David Ornstein.
Due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding his contract, the Chelsea midfielder is appearing more and more likely to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
His present contract has not been extended for months, and the Daily Mail reported months ago that an offer of £200k a week had been rejected.
There is a lot of chatter in the media that he might play at Old Trafford next season as these difficulties simmer behind the scenes, and United appears poised to seize the opportunity.
This weekend, Ornstein was able to add even more piece of information to the growing rumor mill when appearing on NBC Sports.
"Now that doesn't mean it's done because the clubs will have to open conversations – which I hear will happen in due course," Ornstein explained.
"They'll need to reach an agreement. Manchester United have a lot of hurdles to overcome. Financially, they've got other priorities as well.
"But that's the direction of travel as things stand."
Additionally, according to 90min, Mount will consult with Chelsea's management about his future in the coming week or two.
The club will need to sell the player soon if they want to get the most money out of him because his £80k per week contract expires in the summer of 2024.
With teams like Arsenal and Newcastle United reportedly interested, the 24-year-old could be transferred for £55 million this summer.
However, based on these recent remarks from Ornstein, it does seem as though Man United are the most likely to complete a transaction, and if this week's Chelsea negotiations with Mount go well, it appears as though the team's next discussion with the Red Devils about a potential sale might be instructive.
Former Chelsea manager Lampard recently admitted to the press that it's a "difficult situation" and that the player's future is currently uncertain.
"I don’t know what the solution is going to be because it’s the club and Mason’s issue. I don’t know where exactly Mason is at personally, he’s got a year left on his contract."
"I know he’s held in high regard at the club and I know the club are trying to do what they can to make him stay, but I also think that Mason, I’d never want to stand here in the modern-day and talk about what a player should do because they’ll see it all from their own eyes."
"I think in the old days it would be: why are you leaving the club? In the modern day it’s: you should move on. And we’ve got into this situation that is happening now."
