# Tottenham Hotspur: Fabrizio Romano shares big Harry Kane update

**Writing on [Twitter,](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1426301785044660231) reliable transfer source Fabrizio Romano has shared a big exit update involving Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and superstar striker Harry Kane.**

### The Lowdown: City eye Kane swoop…

It is no secret that the 28-year-old has been one of [City’s main transfer targets](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58114039)for the entirety of this summer transfer window.

The Sky Blues have been after a replacement for all-time top goal scorer and club legend Sergio Aguero with sporting director Txiki Begiristain earmarking Kane as the man for Pep Guardiola.

However, Spurs have taken a firm stance on the forward and do not wish to sell – with the standoff now taking another twist as per Romano.

### The Latest: City ‘ready new bid’ for Kane

As per the journalist, writing on his [social media](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1426301785044660231), City have a readied a new bid to sign Kane this summer and ‘will push again’ next week.

It is also believed that the offer will amount to around €150 million (£127.6m) and the Premier League champions are still open including players or add-ons in the deal.

“Manchester City will push again for Harry Kane next week,” Romano [explained](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1426301785044660231).

“#MCFC €150m new bid ready and now waiting for Spurs final position – City are also open to include players or add-ons.

“Spurs are still ‘determined’ to keep Harry Kane. No fresh bid received yet. Poker game.”

### The Verdict: Levy dilemma?

While it is crystal clear that chairman Daniel Levy does not want to offload his prized asset at Tottenham, an imminent City offer of £127.6m plus players must surely create a dilemma.

Tottenham are after at [least two new centre-backs](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/news/tottenham-next-manager-levy-alli-20555939) for Nuno Espirito Santo and it isn’t inconceivable to believe that Aymeric Laporte could be the perfect partner for new signing Cristian Romero.

The Spaniard has been described as [‘incredible’](https://soccer.nbcsports.com/2020/01/21/premier-league-manchester-city-pep-guardiola-aymeric-laporte/) and the ‘[best left central defender in the world](https://soccer.nbcsports.com/2020/01/21/premier-league-manchester-city-pep-guardiola-aymeric-laporte/)‘ by Guardiola and his salary of around £120,000-per-week is arguably affordable for Spurs ([spotrac.com](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/manchester-city-fc/aymeric-laporte-24872/)).

Spurs are also on the lookout for a [new attacking options](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/07/28/dusan-vlahovic-simy-tottenhams-radar-club-look-harry-kane-attack/), so City striker Gabriel Jesus could also be a fine swap deal option.

The Brazilian is still young (24) and possesses plenty of English top flight experience, bagging 50 Premier League goals and 23 assists in 131 appearances ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/gabriel-jesus/profil/spieler/363205)).

If Levy gets offered the chance to sign either player plus a sizeable fee, it would be foolish not to at least consider it.
