Kane is also of the opinion that Levy would consider a sale if he is sure of getting a sum in the range of £100 million for Kane.
"“I think there is definitely a conversation to be had. It’s a moment where I have to reflect and have a conversation with the chairman.“I hope we have a good enough relationship. After 16 years, I hope that we can have an honest conversation.“I hope we have a good enough relationship. I’ve given the club… well, I’ve been there 16 years of my life. So, I hope that we can have a good, honest conversation and see where we are at in that aspect.“I don’t want to have come to the end of my career and have any regrets.“So, I want to be the best that I can be. I’ve said before, I’d never say that I’d stay at Spurs for the rest of my career. I’d never say that I would leave Spurs.“I still feel like I’ve still got almost another career to play. I’ve got another seven or eight years. I’m not rushing anything. I’m not desperate to do anything.Source: The Overlap"
Manchester City have been presented with a very good opportunity to land one of the best strikers in Europe. Kane, 27, is bound to have at least another 4-5 years of top-level football in him and with the player himself believing that he will not be worth £100 million in a season or two from now, City should consider signing him.
While some may argue that Haaland, 20, is a much better investment, Kane has got experience on his side and that makes him calculated but lethal.
