Pep Guardiola has simply refused to entertain recent rumors suggesting Harry Kane could join Manchester City this summer.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola point-blank refused to discuss whether he was interested in signing England captain Harry Kane this summer.

The star forward has made it known to the club that he wishes to leave, with the Premier League champions leading contenders to complete a £150m deal.

Spurs have maintained Kane is not for sale this summer and it remains to be seen where he’ll play his football next season.

However, Guardiola, speaking after City let a two-goal lead slip to lose at Brighton, was not interested in talking about the 27-year-old striker on Tuesday.

Asked if he would like to sign Harry Kane this summer, Guardiola said: “Next question. He is a Tottenham Hotspur player, please.”

Kane is keen to have a move sorted by the time England begin their Euro 2020 campaign in a little over three weeks – but the likelihood of that happening appears remote.

However, Kane is fully prepared to play the long game and is unwilling to let Tottenham talk him into changing his mind for a second successive summer.

While Tottenham are insistent they will not sell, it is believed a fee of £150million could be too good for the club to reject.
