Report claims how much Levy would demand for Tottenham man if he decides to leave – originally posted on Sportslens.com
According to reports from The Times, Tottenham Hotspur would demand a fee in the region of £200m for Harry Kane if he decides to leave the club.
Kane previously stated that he would seek to leave if he feels that Spurs are not making enough progress. The England striker has stated his desire to win trophies and lifting the Carabao Cup (if Spurs win at all) won’t be enough.
The 27-year-old striker has a contract at the club till 2024, and Daniel Levy is under no pressure to sell him.
He has no release clause in his contract and Spurs have not put any valuation on his head.
However, Spurs are aware of interests from several heavyweight clubs for Kane. In case they make an approach, Spurs would demand a fee in the region of £200m.
In the present economic climate, very few clubs can afford to pay that amount.

Kane, once again, has been outstanding this season for Spurs. He has managed 16 goals and 13 assists in the Premier League so far.
It will be interesting to see what Kane decides to do if Spurs fail to secure a top-four finish this season. Kane may not want to play in the Europa League again, but the length of his contract weakens his ability to force a move.
The Times claim that Spurs need two full backs, a centre back, a holding midfielder, a creative player and a back-up striker in the summer, but with the club struggling financially, it is unclear where the money would come from.
