Harry Kane tipped for huge La Liga move to "avoid hurting Tottenham fans' hearts"

Former Barcelona star Rivaldo believes wantaway Tottenham striker Harry Kane should consider moving to La Liga as to not upset the club’s fans.

The 27-year-old is reported to be keen on a transfer this summer with Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea among the possible destinations.

However, a move to a direct rival is likely to be a particularly off-putting idea for Spurs supremo Daniel Levy, with a move abroad something that he may be more open to.

The former Brazil international and playmaker Rivaldo believes that Kane would ‘fit very well at Barcelona or Real Madrid ’ should a move to Spain be possible for the striker.

Whilst the two giants of Spanish football have often been the dream destinations for many of Europe’s leading players, their current financial problems may ensure that any big-money deals this summer are unlikely.

Both clubs have a significant amount of short-term debt with Barcelona’s situation said to be of particular urgency, with their debt standing at over €1billion.

Rivaldo explained on Betfair: "There are growing rumours about Harry Kane's exit from Tottenham. All the big English and European clubs are looking very interested.

"Despite not being at the top of the betting right now I think that he could fit very well at Barcelona or Real Madrid. He is a great player with great skills around the box and the sort of prolific goal scorer who would bring a lot to any of these clubs.

"If Kane decided to leave England to avoid hurting Spurs fans hearts, perhaps there's a chance of him considering a move to La Liga. Of course, Barca or Madrid will need to invest a lot of money to capture the England striker and both clubs would need to be sure that Kane would fit with their managers' plans."
