Coach Conte admits Chelsea does not have enough money to buy Harry Kane

Manager Antonio Conte has expressed his admiration for Tottenham striker Harry Kane but admitted that Chelsea would find it difficult to buy him.

In this transfer window, Chelsea achieved their goal when they successfully recruited Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid for 70 million pounds. With the appearance of the Spanish striker, "The Blues" will not buy another striker in this transfer window.

In a recent interview, Chelsea coach Conte expressed his admiration for Kane and said that if he had to buy another striker, he would try to sign the striker who is currently on the Tottenham payroll.

Chelsea also tried to pursue Kyle Walker this summer. However, they had to give up after Man City agreed to spend up to 54 million pounds. Similarly with Kane, coach Conte admitted that "The Blues" would find it difficult to pursue because he is certainly very expensive.

"For me, Kane is currently one of the best strikers in the world. If I had to buy another striker, I would buy him. He is a complete player, has good physical strength and is good in the air. Kane's technique is also perfect. However, if you buy him at this time, the price will be at least 100 million pounds," Sport Mail quoted Conte.

Recently, Real Madrid and Man City are pursuing Kylian Mbappe with a price of 160 million pounds while PSG is said to be willing to spend 196 million pounds to break the contract between Neymar and Barcelona.

Talking about these phenomena, Coach Conte said: "Currently, every player has a high price. Regardless of whether it is a left-back, right-back or central defender, they all have a high price. We tried to pursue Walker because he is a good defender but then had to give up. It is difficult to upgrade the squad without a lot of money."
