Harry Kane can beat Manchester United for another Tottenham Hotspur rival in the Premier League.
On Monday, the Telegraph announced United had begun trying to figure out what it would take to buy Kane, amid growing expectations the striker will not sign a new contract with Tottenham Hotspur.
United are said to be intent on making a bid for Kane, while also exploring what the 29-year-old's price tag could be.
Kane's current contract will have 12 months left at the end of the season, and while his advisers would not comment on the situation, the Telegraph's 'Tottenham sources' say there is little possibility of money right now. The striker will reunite with Spurs this summer.
The prospect of United making a serious offer for Kane is seen as a 'nightmare scenario' for Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, who will weigh in on whether to sell the club's star player this summer or risk it. risked losing him on a free transfer at the end of his next mission. However, there is an alternate reality that can feel like a nightmare for Levy.
It has been widely reported that Mauricio Pochettino is in a key position to become Chelsea's next manager, following a series of active negotiations with the club.
Negotiations will continue this week, led by Chelsea's co-directors of sport Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, but the former Tottenham manager is said to be the clear favorite.
If Pochettino becomes the club's new head coach, it will almost certainly spark speculation that the Argentinian will try to reunite with Kane at Stamford Bridge.
The decision makes sense on paper as Chelsea have enough money to sign Kane, desperately need a No 9 and the player knows Pochettino very well.
However, Spurs are unlikely to sell Kane to Chelsea given the rivalry that exists between the two clubs, while the player may be reluctant to jeopardize his legendary status in north London.
Levy could face the prospect of Kane signing for United or Chelsea, or leaving on a free, with both options likely making it hard for Spurs fans to accept.
