Report after report is now flooding in regarding the saga linking Harry Kane with a move to the Etihad Stadium.
This time, it’s Simon Mullock from the Daily Mirror who has provided an update on Manchester City’s stance.
It is claimed that the Premier League champions are braced for the saga to ‘go all the way to the wire‘ on transfer deadline day. But, there is still ‘optimism‘ at Manchester City that a deal can be done, and the club still believe the player’s wish to leave Tottenham this summer will be decisive in getting their man.
Before embarking on international duty at the European Championships earlier this summer, the 27-year-old publicly stated his desire to leave the North London outfit in search of winning major trophies.

Alongside Manchester City’s persistence to get a deal done, club officials are also willing to pay a ‘significant chunk’ of any fee for Harry Kane up front.
This does back up earlier reports from the Daily Mail that the club are now willing to be ‘patient’ in their pursuit of the England international, with the summer transfer window not closing until August 31st.
If it’s true that Daniel Levy has given in to Harry Kane’s demands to leave the club, it’s now up to the two sides to negotiate a price – something that’s proving to be quite difficult.

It is no secret that last season’s top goalscorer and assist provider is Manchester City’s top target this summer, as they prepare for life without Sergio Agüero for the first time, who joined Barcelona on a free transfer earlier this summer.
Alongside Kane, Manchester City also hold an interest in Jack Grealish – who is valued at around £100 million by Aston Villa, and could be the key to taking the club one step further in the Champions League this season.
