Harry Kane is staying. He tweeted this.
So, I wonder whether Manchester City would be able to sign Cristiano Ronaldo on the last week of the transfer window. But €25m is a really bad offer I think. I don't wait for Juventus to sell him for that amount. His market value is €45m now. Let's see whether City will manage to end the deal.
