It’s up to you now, Harry...

FROM his late return to pre-season training. The Premier League champions will wait for Levy to make the next move after making it clear they will go past the British record of £100million they just paid Aston Villa for Jack Grealish.

City have began drawing up plans to go into the new season without a recognised striker, but remain confident that a deal can be struck.

Boss Pep Guardiola took the unprecedented step of declaring his club’s interest in the forward on Friday.

City’s summer-long chase for Kane has been driven by the belief that he secured a gentleman’s agreement to leave Spurs if they failed to qualify for the Champions League for two successive seasons when he signed a six-year contract in 2018.

They believe Tottenham’s £150m valuation of Kane is realistic, but have offered unsettled duo Bernardo Silva or Aymeric Laporte as makeweights.

William Bowyer, a solicitor operating in the sports and entertainment law team for Mackrell Solicitors, believes the striker’s agent brother Charlie was naive in believing a verbal agreement would secure him a move to City.

Bowyer said: “A written agreement is always better than a verbal agreement because written terms are reviewable and usually more objective.

“If Kane has a verbal agreement to leave Spurs, this will mean very little as there will be certain notice provisions that he and the club will need to follow to properly terminate his current deal.”
