Manchester United are urging Harry Kane to submit a transfer request to help negotiations with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.
Kane is eager to join United, but even with just a year to run on his Spurs deal, chairman Levy is showing little willingness to sell.
The Sun says United rate Kane at 80m, while Levy is demanding 100m to open talks.
And now United are pushing a desperate Kane to either make a formal transfer request or come out with a strongly worded statement declaring his wish to move to Old Trafford.
United manager Erik ten Hag is as eager as Kane to see the deal done, but there's little prospect given Levy's current stand.
