He is still a top player or at least has a top reputation. Many clubs in Italy or Spain would take him, I mean he is a reasonable replacement for Kvara at Napoli if they sell him. We won’t get a crazy fee but the club can’t just let time eat the squad like we have allowed before.
Do these clubs in Spain and Italy have any money? Kvara for Son + money sounds like a too good to be true deal.
Other than Real Madrid , none of them have any money - so they need to find the “next” Son for a cheap transfer fee so they can sell on for big a profit. They don’t want the “past” Son on high wages unless maybe it’s on a free and a very short term contract. They’re not going to pay a fee or do swap deals which trade a player with rising sell on value for a player with falling sell on value.
So Napoli will want lots of cold hard cash for Kvara - or maybe a bit less cold hard cash and Alfie Devine (not Son).

Is he good in front of goal? Obviously he hasn't got a lot of goals, but is it cos he's not in goal scoring situations or cos he doesn't have a good strike, like Skipp for instance?
Osimhen can either stay at Napoli who are a great side now, or have his pick from basically any other club
We are an afterthought to players like him
The only scenario I’d be fine with Kane leaving is if we were to get osimhen to replace but there’s next to no chance of that happening. If we let Kane go to utd, Chelsea would just swoop and get osimhen.

The Napoli players feel like they're out of our reach now. They have an insane reputation, they'll win the league, while we're scraping 4th yet again. The fees will also be astronomical.
Only realistic option would be KMJ. Has a release clause, making wages the only issue, which we should be able to afford (if we manage to offload Lo Celso, Winks, Lloris and others), plus hopefully Son can influence him to join.
A back line of Romero, KMJ, and someone less highly rated but good, like jurrien timber (?) plus David Raya should be good enough.
Same as that Kvara bloke......... Very rarely someone like Romero or Ndomele slips through the net, but as seen; they don't come without their challenges.
Osimhen > United makes more sense to me than Kane anyway.... They'd be buying a striker for a near decade, not a few seasons.

KMJ + Ndicka for free is the obvious ticket... You just offset one against the other and all of a sudden both become 'cheap'.
Doubt we'll get a clear run at KMJ though.... We'd just have to hope that our prev interest resonates with him (and Sonny if he's still here).
Perhaps but we might be one of the only clubs to afford £120m or whatever the price is upfront if Kane does unfortunately choose to leave. He wants the prem and that leaves clubs like Woolwich, we would be more able to spend than them.
I can think of at least in 4 the EPL alone that could if they wanted to.
(Aside: Any Kane sale would be just as likely to be 'on the books' rather than cash up as most other deals.)
Quite a lot rides on the Kane situation.
Personally I’d make him stay and play the last year of his contract. I think Richarlison was bought to be the number 9 replacement or a player we could sell on quite easily should he flop. If we do that then we only need to buy another couple of attackers and an attacking midfielder.
If he goes then I think we have to do the above but also go all out for Ivan Toney with the money.
Either way the transfer planning has to be spot on and we can’t afford a single mistake. If we fuck it up then we will be out of the European places. It’s a huge decision and that’s why I think they’ll kick the can down the road with Kane until 2024.

Son probably pays for himself commercially.
United just paid £70 million for Casemiro, who is the same age.
City have Haaland, if United get Kane that’s them, Liverpool no, Woolwich probably not, Newcastle yes, Chelsea have pushed their FFP limited using 8 year contracts so it would be harder this time. Newcastle are the obvious rival.
I want to keep Kane and sign a new deal but we can’t let Kane and Son decline/leave with a whimper.
First league goal of the season though. £25 million for an attacking midfielder and he scored his first goal in March. I think his agent is punting him out there big time. Seems a lot for that return. We need an attacking midfielder but I think I’d rather see that money put towards a great centre back instead.
If Arse won the league I could totally see them spend big on an ST.
Chavs.... They're bent... If they want him they'll be in the mix.
United.... Better bet for them than Kane long term.
NuCastle..... Nuff said; though still probably lack the appeal for now from a player point of view.
Dippers.... Not so likely given Nunez, but there'll be moving parts in the summer there fore sure.
City... Haaland obv, but again; financially.... Just a blip for them.
Then you have the obv. big names on the continent.....
Of course they'll have to be replaced.
