It's no secret that Harry Kane wants out of Tottenham this summer. The striker has seen too many seasons go by without a trophy for a player of his calibre.
This campaign, in fact, could end without any European football at all, with Spurs not even assured of a place in the Europa Conference League.
A summer of transfer rumours, then, is upon us, with Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea all already linked with the 27-year-old.
On paper, signing for City makes the most sense. Pep Guardiola guarantees silverware and the chance to improve even further.
United are still to prove their trophy-winning credentials, while Edinson Cavani is still knocking about. As for Chelsea, there are certain difficulties with joining them straight from Spurs.
Moving to Manchester City would not solve all of Kane's problems, however. Given how good Guardiola's striker-less system has been this season, he might see his squad better without a proper No.9.
Throughout his career at Tottenham, Kane has been used to playing week in, week out. He may not be happy to warm the bench every other game as part of Guardiola's rotation policy.
That's especially worth considering when Kane has his sights set on Alan Shearer's Premier League goalscoring record of 260 goals. He already has 165.
That begs the question of whether City really need Kane. They've won the Premier League and reached a Champions League final without a striker, scoring plenty of goals along the way.
If Spurs charge a high fee for the forward, in the region of 120 million pounds, as reported by Sky Sports, that may just make City think twice.
Despite their financial muscle, it's something else to spend that kind of money on a player you don't desperately need.
What's more, City aren't ones for spending big fees. The 68 million euros they spent on Ruben Dias last summer was their record transfer. Signing Kane would cost around double that, which is a big jump.
The grass, of course, is greener for Kane at a team like Guardiola's City. Whether it tastes just as nice as the stuff he's been having at Spurs is the other question.

The £120 is too much,but if a deal is to include Jesus as is reported elsewhere,and probably a figure of £70m,it would be fantastic for City.Kane can perfectly fit to City considering his assists.This means he can both play as an outright striker or a false 9! He's has the capability to be a Benzema or Firmino,but a classical finisher.His not a Rashford,Calvert.Lewin,Welbeck ,or Ings type!
