Pep Guardiola wants to attract a new number nine next summer, but initially does not go for Erling Braut Haaland, Lu Martín reports in the podcast. Què t’hi jugues. According to the Spanish journalist, who is known for his good contacts around the person of Guardiola, Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur should become the new striker of Manchester City.
City will say goodbye to club top scorer Sergio Agüero next summer, after ten seasons, who will leave the club on a free transfer. With Gabriel Jesus, Guardiola has an alternative at home, but on Wednesday it appeared again that the Brazilian attacker cannot count on the unconditional trust of his manager. Guardiola put Bernardo Silva in the striker in the return match against Borussia Dortmund (1-2 win), while Gabriel Jesus remained on the bench for the entire match.
Dortmund striker Haaland has been linked to Manchester City for a long time, but Guardiola is reportedly aiming his arrows at Kane. According to Martín, the 27-year-old center forward is ‘a bit done’ with his manager José Mourinho and is looking forward to a step higher. Another factor is that, given the current seventh place in the ranking, Tottenham is unlikely to qualify for the Champions League. Kane is at the top of the top scorers list with nineteen goals in the Premier League shared.
It will not be easy for City to separate Kane from Tottenham. The 53-time English international is fixed until mid-2024 and must according to The Sun converted to raise no less than 205 million euros. Kane has also been associated with Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid at an earlier stage.
