Harry Kane 'demands £400,000 a week' in Tottenham contract talks as transfer compromise
Harry Kane has reportedly asked for up to £400,000 a week in order to sign a new bumper contract extension at Tottenham in the aftermath of yesterday’s dramatic U-turn. The England captain confirmed in a statement on his social media channels that he has decided to stay put this summer, ending Manchester City’s slim hopes of completing their second British-record transfer of the window before the August 31 deadline.
Kane has angled for a move to the Etihad Stadium all summer but Spurs chief Daniel Levy has continued to play hardball with the champions, insisting his frontman is not for sale at any cost.
It’s understood that Tottenham have not even been picking up the phone in recent weeks after rejecting two bids, reportedly in the region of £100million and £120m.
The 28-year-old has now declared that he is willing to stay in north London with talks over a new contract now underway behind the scenes.
“It was incredible to see the reception from the Spurs fans on Sunday [against Wolves] and to read some of the messages of support I’ve had in the last few weeks,” Kane tweeted yesterday afternoon.
