Manchester United have been told to cough up a figure of close to £100 million to sign Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane.
The Red Devils have been long-standing admirers of Kane, who has been one of the best strikers in the Premier League for nearly a decade. The marksman has notched up 20 goals across competitions this season, marking the ninth consecutive season he has achieved the feat.
While Marcus Rashford has been banging in goals for Manchester United, they could use another goalscorer. According to Football Insider, Erik ten Hag is eager to sign a striker this summer, and Kane is on that list.
However, Tottenham will not entertain offers lower than their asking price, with chairman Daniel Levy proving to be a tough negotiator. Although Kane has just 15 months left in his contract, Spurs will stick to their asking price. The club have also reportedly opened contract renewal talks with the forward.
Kane recently became Tottenham's all-time top scorer, netting the only goal in a 1-0 win over Manchester United's cross-town rivals Manchester City.
The talisman was part of one of the longest transfer sagas recently as he was a top target for Manchester City in 2021. However, the move never worked out as Levy rejected any advances made by the champions.
With Kane stalling contract talks for a while now, Manchester United will lick their lips as they look to make the most of the situation.
Manchester United take on Liverpool in North West Derby
The Red Devils will make a short trip to Anfield to take on Liverpool in the Premier League. Having won four of their last five games, United will look in solid shape coming into the crunch clash.
The Reds, meanwhile, have won just two of their last five games across competitions. Jurgen Klopp's men have endured a topsy-turvy campaign, as they find themselves in sixth place with 39 points, six points adrift of the top four.
United are third with 49 points, and a win will take them closer to City, who are second with 55 points, having played a game more. United won 2-1 against Liverpool in August last year and will look to repeat the feat.
