Graham Roberts has told Manchester City to pay £160m or they simply won’t sign Harry Kane this summer.
The Premier League champions have made just one bid for the England captain of around £100m, which was rejected by Daniel Levy, who values him in excess of £150m.
Will Tottenham sign Martinez this month?
100%!
No way!
Tottenham want to keep their star striker despite his off the field actions having missed training in a bid to push a move to City.
Kane later came out and denied missing his return to Hotspur Way but was then left out of Spurs’ opening day victory over Pep Guardiola’s men, although his lack of a pre-season could have been the reason for his exclusion – with the 28-year-old only joining the rest of his teammates on Friday.
Reports from The Times believe that City are set to return with an improved offer, although it’s still less than Tottenham’s asking-price, which means it’ll most likely be rejected by Levy.
Several Manchester City plays have seen their names thrown into the ring as part of a possible deal to bring Kane to the Etihad Stadium.
But Roberts exclusively told Football FanCast that City simply must pay the money or look elsewhere:
“All they have to do is pay £160m, that’s it. There’s no good throwing in Sterling, Silva, Laporte, those players are on mega wages. Sterling hasn’t signed a new contract because he wants £400,000 per-week.
“Pay us what Harry Kane is worth, Pep Guardiola should stop talking about players who aren’t his. If he wants him, come up with the money, and I’m sure the club will sell him to you.
“But are you going to pay what he’s worth? He’s worth £160m, pay it.”
