Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville insists that Manchester City would have already wrapped up the Premier League title and would be gearing up for the Champions League final if they had signed Harry Kane last summer.
City, following the departure of club icon Sergio Aguero at the end of the 2020-21 campaign, were desperate to recruit a new striker last summer and Tottenham Hotspur star Kane was right at the very top of their wish list. They were determined to lay their hands on the England captain and Pep Guardiola openly admitted City's interest in him.
However, the Blues, who are in pole position to retain their Premier League crown, were unable to meet Spurs' financial demands for the striker, with chairman Daniel Levy determined to keep hold of him. City, of course, have since turned to Borussia Dortmund ace Erling Haaland, agreeing a £51million deal to sign him this summer.
