Kane returned late to pre-season training as he tried to convince Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy to let him join the English Premier League champions.
The England captain believed he had a gentleman’s agreement with Levy which allowed him to be sold once Tottenham failed to win a trophy and missed out on a Champions League place last season.
Kane had grown increasingly frustrated with Tottenham’s 13-year trophy drought and went public with his desire to leave the North London club before Euro 2020. However, City refused to meet Levy’s £150 million (R1,509cr) asking price for Kane and last week he posted on Twitter that he would stay at Tottenham this summer.
Asked if he was concerned his reputation could be tarnished, Kane told TalkSport: “No, I don’t think so. Anyone involved in the football industry knows the ins and outs and I was calm with the situation. It was between me and the club, when you know the truth and you know what it going on, your conscience is clear. I have had ups and downs and I know a lot of people who know I am a professional athlete and dedicate my life to this game.”
