Manchester City have made an offer of 100 million pounds (138 million dollars) to Tottenham for England captain Harry Kane as they seek to replace the departed Aguero with the prolific Englishman.
Kane, 27, has publicly expressed his desire to add trophies to his excellent goalscoring record as well as play in the Champions League and he believed to be keen on a move away from his boyhood club this summer.
Sky Sports reported that Spurs are expected to reject the bid with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy holding out for at least 120 million pounds for his prized asset.

Despite Kane winning the Golden Boot for top goalscorer and top assist provider last season, Spurs finished seventh in the Premier League and missed the Champions League for the second consecutive season.
By contrast, City claimed a third Premier League title in four seasons, but missed out on the club’s first ever Champions League by losing 1-0 in the final to Chelsea.
The English champions are looking for a replacement for all-time top goalscorer Sergio Aguero, who has left City after 10 years to join Barcelona.
Kane is yet to win any major trophy for club or country.
He is hoping to change that next month at Euro 2020, but his tournament has got off to a slow start.
Gareth Southgate has substituted his skipper in both matches, against Croatia and Scotland, and Kane has failed to score.
