Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy reportedly has no intention of selling to either Manchester club again, having hugely regretted allowing Kyle Walker to join Manchester City in 2017.
Harry Kane's future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is currently being called into question, with Manchester United said to have identified the England captain as their leading summer target.
However, according to the Daily Mail, Levy now has a policy of refusing to sell any of Tottenham's players to either of the Manchester giants.
The report claims that the Spurs chairman regrets allowing Walker to move to the Etihad Stadium in 2017, and he has 'vowed to never make the same mistake again'.
Kane only has a deal with Tottenham until the summer of 2024, and he could allegedly tell the North London club that he wants to leave in the upcoming market.
Tottenham's position would be weakened if they fail to secure Champions League football for next season, although Kane's standing as one of the best strikers in world football means that he is still likely to cost in the region of £100m.
Real Madrid have previously been linked with the Englishman, although it is thought that the strongest foreign interest is coming from Bayern Munich.
Levy is said to be determined to keep hold of Kane, but the chairman would rather sell the striker abroad if it became clear that he was heading for the exit door at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
A recent report claimed that Thomas Tuchel's arrival as head coach of Bayern had strengthened the German club's chances of signing Tottenham's and England's all-time leading goalscorer.
Bayern would be able to offer Kane a genuine chance of winning major silverware in the latter stages of his career, but it is thought that he wants to remain in the Premier League, recently revealing that he has his eyes on Alan Shearer's Premier League's scoring record.
"Yeah it's definitely there," said Kane when asked by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak whether he had a desire to become the highest goalscorer in the history of the Premier League.
"I'm getting closer, so it's for sure something I want to achieve, but I try not to look too far ahead in football. A lot can change in a short period of time, but I'm feeling fit – I'm 29 – so hopefully got plenty of years left. For sure, it'd be something I'd love to do."
Kane has 204 Premier League goals to his name, with Shearer at the top of the charts with 260.
The forward has managed 23 goals and four assists in 39 appearances for Spurs during the 2022-23 campaign, including 21 strikes in England's top flight. body check tags ::
