BREAKING: Tottenham Swaps Harry Kane For Eden Hazard?—Tottenham Hotspur are exploring the opportunity of selling Harry Kane to a foreign club so he does not join a Premier League rival.
The England captain has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, who have made him their priority signing ahead of the summer transfer window. However, Spurs believe they could offer Kane to Real Madrid and see former Chelsea winger Eden Hazard go the other way in a deal that would suit the north London club.
The Mirror reveals: “Kane, 29, is out of contract in North London next summer and this is likely to be the last opportunity Spurs have to cash in on the striker before risking him leaving as a free agent. Their preference is to sell him to a club outside of England and not to a direct rival.
“[Manchester] United are desperate to sign an elite central striker and believe Kane’s contractual situation will mean that a deal is possible.
“However, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is not keen on overseeing the striker’s exit to a Premier League rival. An exit to a leading European club, such as Real Madrid, would overcome this obstacle and would mean Kane does not come up as an opponent for Tottenham – who are on course to miss out on European qualification entirely this season.”
