In exchange for Eden Hazard joining from Real Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur is hoping Harry Kane would depart to play for a team outside of the Premier League.
To prevent Harry Kane from signing with a Premier League competitor, Tottenham Hotspur is looking into the possibility of selling him to a foreign club.
The captain of England has received a lot of attention from Manchester United, who have made him their top target for the summer transfer season.
In a deal that would benefit the north London club, Spurs think they can give Kane to Real Madrid while letting former Chelsea winger Eden Hazard move the other way.
Kane, 29, will be out of a contract in North London next summer, and The Mirror reports that this is probably the final chance Spurs will have to make a profit on the striker before running the danger of losing him as a free agency. Instead of a direct opponent, they would want to sell him to a club outside of England.
“[Manchester] United are desperate to sign an elite central striker and believe that a deal will be feasible given Kane’s contractual situation.”The striker’s transfer to a Premier League opponent is not something that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is eager to oversee, though.
Tottenham, who are on track to completely lose out on European qualification this season, would not face Kane as an opponent if he left for a top European team like Real Madrid, which would overcome this impediment.
