Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy remains steadfast in his £150m valuation of Harry Kane, according to reports.
Manchester City have pursued the England captain all summer and Kane is keen on a move to the Etihad Stadium.
The 28-year-old has yet to win a trophy during his career and believes he has a better chance of doing so as part of Pep Guardiola's side.
And according to the Daily Telegraph, Levy is not willing to budge on the £150m price tag he has placed on Kane's head.
But that does not look likely to happen, and City should perhaps have recognised that given Levy's hard-earned reputation as a fierce negotiator.
The striker made his first appearance of the season on Sunday, coming on as a second-half substitute in Spurs' 1-0 win at Wolves.
"Harry helped the team. We are talking about one of the best players in the world and we are very lucky to have him,” Nuno Espirito Santo said after the game.
“It’s too soon to know if he will be involved on Thursday [against Pacos de Ferreira in the Europa Conference League]. Now I cannot answer that.
“He is getting back to his fitness and he still has to improve. You could see the way he helped the team in terms of possession and the fine lines. We need everybody.”
