Kane should have taken a coronavirus test on Monday and trained with the team again on Tuesday. In the past, Gareth Bale and Luka Modric, among others, have successfully moved away from Tottenham to Real Madrid. But it is surprising that Kane would boycott the training and let the situation escalate. Because the national player and crowd favorite, who has been with the club for 17 years, is an absolute model professional.
But at the age of 28, the striker, who lost to Italy in the European Championship final with England, finally wants to win titles. And that seems unlikely at the moment with the Spurs, who were last champions in the 1960/61 season. Tottenham’s last big success was the FA Cup in 1991. More than the insignificant league cup has not been in it since then, although the club played for the title for a long time in the Premier League season 2015/16 and made it to the final of the Champions League in 2019.
Kane is running out of time to win titles
After the departure of long-time coach Mauricio Pochettino and a disappointing year and a half under Jose Mourinho, the Spurs are facing a change under new coach Nuno Espirito Santo, for which Kane lacks patience. Understandable, especially since Spurs only play in the new Conference League internationally. Too little for someone who is considered one of the best strikers in the world.
In the past, Real Madrid or FC Barcelona would probably have secured Kane’s services long ago. But the Spanish giants lack the money they need today. That’s what Kane’s dream destination is called Manchester City. For Guardiola, Kane’s commitment should have top priority. Already from 160 million pounds (approx. 188 million euros) transfer fee could be read. Most recently, British media reported £ 100 million.
Fronts are hardened, it is possible to remain
Tottenham boss Daniel Levy should hardly blink an eyelid. It is considered impossible that Levy, known for his perseverance, will let his most valuable player go for less than 150 million pounds (approx. 175 million euros). Even if Kane insists on a “gentleman’s agreement” with Levy, a personal promise that allows him to change despite his contract, which runs until the summer of 2024. The fronts are hardened. And for the Spurs, the pressure rises almost two weeks before the start of the season. After all, you would have to find an adequate replacement – unless Kane stays in the end.
According to information from the British broadcaster Sky Sports, the striker is said to have signaled that he would return to training on Saturday. Until then, however, he wants to set an example. In the end, the crowd’s darling could only harm himself with the protest. Fans reacted upset to his behavior. It remains to be seen whether he will be on the pitch at Tottenham’s start of the season on August 15th – and for whom. The Spurs play against ManCity, of all places.
