Newly-appointed Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou is encountering his first challenge at the club as the future of star striker Harry Kane remains uncertain.
According to French media outlet Le Parisien, reigning Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain have identified the England captain as their top priority after parting with Lionel Messi.
PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi is reportedly intensifying his pursuit of the 29-year-old marksman, on whom Manchester United have been keen for years.
The report says Al Khelaifi is prepared to go ‘all out’ to end Kane’s prolific career in the Premier League, with Napoli’s Victor Osimhen emerging as a first alternative.
As he only has a year left to run on his contract in London, the Englishman has become one of the most sought-after prospects on the market this summer.
In addition to long-term admirers Man United, Real Madrid recently placed him on their list of targets after cutting ties with long-serving stalwart Karim Benzema.
However, Les Parisiens are determined to hijack Kane’s potential move to the Santiago Bernabeu, and won’t shy away from Daniel Levy’s £100 million asking price.
While Levy remains hopeful of hanging on to his talisman, the likelihood of Kane staying at Tottenham is diminishing with each day passing, with high-profile suitors lining up bids for the free-scoring striker.
Spurs are reluctant to let Kane remain in the Premier League with another team, even though the player prefers to stay in the country to break Alan Shearer’s all-time top-flight record of 260 Premier League goals.
PSG could be a viable solution if his time in England ends this summer as Les Parisiens brace themselves for a squad overhaul amid talks of Luis Enrique’s imminent arrival as manager.
The Spaniard is a front-runner to fill the vacancy after the sacking of Christophe Galtier, and Kane could be his welcome gift, provided the French heavyweights convince him to move to Ligue 1.
