And according to what was reported by the “Mirror” newspaper, Manchester United is facing the problem of paying a large sum of money to achieve its goal of contracting with Harry Kane, because Daniel Levy, the president of Tottenham, will not give up his star for less than 120 million pounds sterling, which is the amount that he asked for more from Manchester. City when he wanted to sign the English striker in the summer of 2021.

Harry Kane demands a weekly salary of up to 400,000 pounds sterling, in addition to incentives and signing bonuses, which are large sums awaiting Manchester United and raise the cost of contracting with the England captain to more than 300 million pounds.

There have been reports that Manchester United have put a salary cap, meaning no first-team player can earn more than £200,000 a week, and the club know such a decision effectively ends their hopes of signing Kane.
