Jakarta –
Harry Kane more enthusiasts. But the top clubs who are interested in the Tottenham Hotspur player must learn from experience Sir Alex Ferguson while at Manchester United.
This is closely related to the difficulties faced by Sir Alex when he wanted to recruit players from Tottenham Hotspur. Specifically, the experience in hooking Dimitar Berbatov.
Dimitar Berbatov left Spurs to join Man United in September 2008. The Red Devils paid him 30.75 million pounds from the Lily Whites, who at that time claimed to have accepted an offer from Manchester City.
After the completion of Berbatov’s transfer to MU, Berbatov insisted he never thought about Man City. Meanwhile, Arsene Wenger, at that time Arsenal manager, had accused the Spurs of using these tricks in order to negotiate a higher price for Berbatov.

Sir Alex Ferguson himself once expressed his tough experience in negotiating with the Spurs camp, specifically Daniel Levy, who is now also chairman of the London club, in his book in 2015.
As told by Sir Alex, Daniel Levy at that time put in a strategy of stalling until the last day of the summer transfer market closing – something that usually MU like Sir Alex Ferguson did.
The Red Devils then became increasingly pressed for time after hearing that Levy was trying to sell Berbatov to Manchester City. So Sir Alex and other MU officials immediately chartered, flew Berbatov to Manchester, and agreed an agreement with the player concerned. All that’s left is to reach an agreement with Tottenham on the value of the transfer.
“Then Levy came back to us and said he needed Frazier Campbell, one of our young strikers, as part of the deal. [Chief executive] David Gill objected, so Levy raised Berbatov’s transfer price a little. “
“In the end, in order to complete the transfer, and add to our losses, we sent Campbell on loan to White Hart Lane and continued to pay the transfer (Berbatov) at the raised price. We were busy until late checking and signing paperwork, to make sure everything is in order before midnight. “
“The whole experience was more painful than having my hip surgery,” he said Sir Alex Ferguson narrating.
Daniel Levy has a reputation as one of the toughest negotiators in the world of football, who has every means to ensure Tottenham can maximize the potential for additional transfer value from players who are being targeted by other clubs. Of course nowadays there are names Harry Kane.
It is speculated that the England international could move to another club in the summer. So far there are Manchester City and Real Madrid who are predicted to be the strongest enthusiasts Harry Kane.
