- Carragher explained that he thinks Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will turn down offers
- Kane enters the final year of his Spurs contract and is sought elsewhere
Jamie Carragher is still not convinced that Harry Kane will be allowed to leave Tottenham this summer, despite the club’s recent embarrassment that saw them lose 6-1 to Newcastle and interim head coach Cristian Stellini sacked.
Kane will soon enter the final year of his Tottenham contract and is wanted by a host of European clubs, including Manchester United, who have apparently begun work on Kane’s move to Old Trafford on Monday.
The England captain hasn’t been able to lift any silverware since rising through the Spurs ranks – his closest was a Champions League final defeat to Liverpool – and could look for a summer move elsewhere in a bid to end his career with a trophy . show for his commitment.
But former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher does not believe Kane should leave, as he believes Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will remain in charge of the 29-year-old’s future.
Having previously posted online that Levy would ‘reject’ an offer from Manchester United, he was then questioned by a Spurs fan-run Twitter account asking Carragher: ‘Have you changed your mind after yesterday?’ in response to Tottenham’s beating at St James’ Park.
Carragher doesn’t change his mind, writing: ‘I’ve been thinking about it for a while and I don’t think the Spurs results change anything about the fact that if Levy doesn’t want him to go, he can’t go!

“I understand the idea of cashing in before he goes free, but like I said, I’m not sure how many options there will be next summer.
“I don’t see him going abroad because he wants the PL (goals) record. So would someone pay him 300/400k a week in the PL when they still have a top striker?’, he added.
“That striker will play a lot of games, which means Kane doesn’t play every week?
‘That’s why I think he’s staying!!’.
Carragher may have a point with the fact that Levy used to be a tough negotiator when it came to getting star players to leave the club.
The Englishman was pursued by Manchester City in the summer of 2021, but was ultimately refused a transfer. Pep Guardiola revealed at the time that Tottenham were proving difficult in the negotiations.
Guardiola explained: “If Tottenham don’t want to negotiate, it’s over,” Guardiola said. “When they open, all the clubs in the world will want to sign him.
“It depends on Tottenham. Harry is an extraordinary striker. We are interested in him, but if Tottenham don’t want to negotiate, we have nothing more to say.’
Kane would be Tottenham’s biggest high-profile departure since Gareth Bale left in 2013 to join Real Madrid for a world record £85 million.
