JAKARTA - Tottenham Hotspur is seeking additional funds to help deal with debts from the construction of their new stadium. One of the things they can't avoid is to sell their star and captain, Harry Kane.
In the midst of the COVID-19 or corona virus pandemic, the Premier League has reportedly put a price tag of 227 million euros on their striker. This is according to the Daily Mail, which also reports that Manchester United are interested in signing the England international.
But to meet those financial demands, Spurs will have to at least break the current world transfer record of 222 million euros - set by Paris Saint-Germain when they signed Neymar from Barcelona.
Meanwhile, in a recent interview, Kane hinted at the possibility of his departure in the near future.
"I love Spurs and I will always love Spurs," he told Jamie Redknapp on Instagram Live.
"I've always said that if we don't progress or go in the right direction then I'm not someone who just stays there for that. I'm an ambitious player, I want to be better.
"I want to be one of the top players so it all depends on what happens as a team and how we progress."
A day I'll remember for the rest of my life! 🦁🦁🦁 https://t.co/Srqc7YK0Gk

Spurs still owe 725 million euros for the construction of their new stadium and another 94 million euros in transfer payments.
Affected by the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic or the ongoing coronavirus, they have announced a 20 percent reduction in the salaries of 550 employees. A percentage that doesn't really affect the players' pockets.
