Tottenham chief Daniel Levy is not willing to bend to Harry Kane’s demands over a new contract. It comes after a summer transfer window where the England international tried to leave for Manchester City.

Tottenham chairman Levy has no plans to cave into Kane’s contract demands despite trying to perform a U-turn over his future.

It was reckoned that the England international would leave for City in the transfer window after trying to force a move.

Before the season had even finished last year, the striker had made it clear to those at the club that he wanted to depart after another failed campaign without any trophies.

Kane is 28 now and on the latter end of his career but has yet to lift any silverware at all despite being renowned as one of the best forwards in the world.

However, a prohibitive six-year contract signed in 2018 has meant Levy has all the cards.

The Spurs chief has denied that a ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ is legally binding and stopped Kane from leaving at all by refusing to even answer City’s attempts.

Ultimately, Kane stayed put in north London and could even sign a new contract with Tottenham.

According to TEAMtalk, Levy is not interested in seeing his star man pen new terms with the club – because he does not agree to his conditions.

Kane wants a buyout clause included in his contract that would allow him to move on and give others a price.

It would dispense of the need for Levy to negotiate but he is not prepared to even entertain the notion and bend to Kane’s wishes.

The lack of a buyout clause was the main reason why City could not prise the Englishman away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium over the summer, unlike Jack Grealish who had a £100m release clause.

Including such terms into any contract would weaken Levy’s ability to negotiate a price, something the Spurs moneyman has proved good at over the years, and as such is not willing to bend to Kane’s whim.
