PL rivals set to edge Chelsea in race for £150m-rated star by paying added signing-on fee

Transfer News: Manchester United ready offer for Tottenham striker Harry Kane to pip Chelsea interest

A report by The Times (h/t Metro) mentions that Manchester United would be willing to offer Chelsea transfer target Harry Kane a big signing-on fee in order to compensate for his loss at Tottenham Hotspur, were he to leave the club.

Recently, Kane spoke with Gary Neville in an interview that mentioned his desire to play in the UEFA Champions League and the need to hold talks with Daniel Levy. This reportedly left Levy disappointed in Kane.

The English striker still has 3 years left on his current contract. He signed a 6-year-deal with Spurs back in 2018 which made him the highest-paid player at the club, with the deal also including loyalty bonuses over the years.

If he hands in a transfer request, he would stand to lose that money. But in order to cover up for that, the Red Devils are lining up an offer that would see them pay a signing-on fee to the 27-year-old. (h/t Metro)

Money talks

The striker, recently linked with Chelsea and Manchester City, is valued at £150m by the club. On top of it, he would want to be paid around the £350,000-per-week wage packet that David de Gea has.

This could take the total fee for signing the English international up to around £250m. Kane is a top striker and with Spurs not in the UEFA Champions League next season, it would be easier to lure him away from the Lilywhites.

Tammy Abraham and Timo Werner have not hit great heights at Chelsea this season.

Daniel Levy is a hard man to bargain with but Kane is one striker that Chelsea must break their transfer record for.

More Chelsea News:

Timo Werner not in great goal-scoring form and Tammy Abraham, along with Olivier Giroud, is not seeing much game-time. In such a scenario, the Blues could do with a proven goal-hunter like Harry Kane and should look to rival United in the transfer market for his signature.
