We sold Bale for 2 1/2 times that amount. It cost Levy and ENIC money. We dropped two places in the standings and lost our main marketing attraction.
Now we have another big marketing attraction and a 600 million dollar stadium to both pay for and fill. Selling Kane for 40 million would end up costing Levy and ENIC a fortune. Kane is under contract for five years. We haven’t sold anyone we wanted to a PL rival for seven years. How likely do you think it is that we would sell him to United for 40 million? It will happen as soon as Levy decides he doesn’t care about money and that the fortunes of Man U are more important to him than the club he partly owns.
Is Harry Kane a marketing attraction? He can barely talk.
