Chelsea not in talks to sign Harry Kane says Fabrizio Romano

Harry Kane is unlikely to leave Tottenham Hotspur next year. Fabrizio Romano has said that Chelsea are not in talks to sign Harry Kane n a swap deal. The English striker continues to be linked with a move away from Tottenham Hotspur. The Blues remain in the market for a world-class No. 9 and reportedly have an interest in Kane. However, in his column for Caught Offside, Romano said that the Englishman is happy at Tottenham. “A year ago, Kane wanted to leave, but now he’s happy at Tottenham under Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici. The Italians have changed the feeling under the club, so now Kane is in no rush to leave the club, the situation is completely different from a year ago. There’s still no agreement on a new contract, but it’s not a dangerous situation,” wrote Romano. Romano added that there’s no truth to the story about a possible swap deal with Romelu Lukaku. “Let’s see how it progresses in the next few months; it’s a work in progress, as is normal when you’re talking about a contract for a top player. There have been rumours involving Chelsea and a swap deal involving Romelu Lukaku, as we know Lukaku was fantastic under Conte at Inter, but as of now, there is absolutely nothing to this story. It’s just a rumour,” wrote Romano. Romano also shed light on rumours linking Kane with Bayern Munich. Romano pointed out that although the Bavarians admire Kane, there’s no contact yet to secure his signature. “There have also been many rumours about Bayern. It’s true that in 2023 that they will go for a striker to replace Robert Lewandowski. Kane is really appreciated by Bayern, but there have never been any conversations with Tottenham. At the moment, they are just fans of the player, but nothing is going on in terms of negotiations,” wrote Romano. Romano added that Tottenham are eager to extend Kane’s stay at the club. “The speculation is normal, but for the moment, the main thing is that Kane is not desperate to leave, and Tottenham want to extend his contract,” wrote Romano. Kane’s contract with Spurs expires in 2024.

“Contracts are irrelevant in football - if results aren’t good enough, then you accept that’s time to part ways. My contract is not protecting me”.228961112Gareth Southgate: “I am not foolish, I know I will be judged on the results at the World Cup and nothing else”. ?????? #England“Contracts are irrelevant in football - if results aren’t good enough, then you accept that’s time to part ways.
