Manchester United are desperate to sign a striker before the summer transfer window closes but could be about to suffer two setbacks as Harry Kane negotiates to join Bayern Munich
Tottenham have opened talks over a £69million move for France international Randal Kolo Muani – as a potential replacement for Harry Kane.
Manchester United thave already been forced to turn their attention away from Kane, 29, because of Tottenham’s hefty demands and have Kolo Muani on their shortlist of alternatives. The Red Devils are desperate to sign a new striker before the summer transfer window closes on September 1, with Atalanta hotshot Ramus Hojlund also targeted but negotiations for the Dane having hit a stumbling block.
Erik ten Hag’s options could be about to get even slimmer, though, with reports from Belgium claiming that Spurs are hoping to pip them to the signing of Kolo Muani, 24. The Eintracht Frankfurt ace has emerged as Tottenham’s priority target should Kane leave, with it being added that Kolo Muani is keen on the move to North London and the Premier League.
Talks have been opened after Spurs chairman Daniel Levy was told by the club’s ownership that he must sell Kane this summer if the England captain refuses to sign a new contract. Kane’s current deal expires in June 2024, when he’d be able to leave Spurs on a free transfer.
