MANCHESTER UNITED will have to table a club-record transfer bid if they want to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham this summer, according to reports.
Earlier this month, SunSport exclusively revealed that United chiefs had made contact with Kane’s camp through a third party and were encouraged by the response.
The striker will enter the final year of his contract with Tottenham at the end of the season, so the Red Devils had hoped that a cut-price offer would be enough to persuade Daniel Levy and Antonio Conte to part with their star man.
However, according to The Times, Tottenham are demanding £100million for Kane.
The Lilywhites want the record fee in a single up-front payment.
So if Kane were to join Man Utd, he would become a club-record signing.

He would also become the joint most expensive English player of all-time with Jack Grealish, who joined Manchester City in a £100m transfer from Aston Villa in 2021.
Kane is expected to discuss his future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at the end of the season.
He is claimed to be open to negotiating a new contract and Spurs chiefs are confident that he will remain at the club next season despite interest from Real Madrid and Bayern Munich as well as Man Utd.
United boss Erik ten Hag is understood to be eager to sign a striker when the summer transfer window opens.
