Report: Man City bid ‘refused’ for £150m man, Fabrizio Romano explains why deal is ‘complicated’

Manchester City are keen on signing Harry Kane to replace Sergio Aguero this summer as he’s a prolific striker and homegrown talent, but Fabrizio Romano of the Guardian and Sky Sports says a deal is ‘complicated’ because of the 2020 European Championships and their pursuit of Jack Grealish. A bid of £100m was already ‘refused’ by Spurs.

City want to sign both Kane and Grealish in the same transfer window but may have to wait until the tournament ends before lodging another bid. The problem they’ll face by waiting is that is pre-season will already be underway for most clubs, so it may be more difficult to sign Kane and Grealish.
