Tottenham Hotspur’s star striker, Harry Kane, seems to be resolute in his decision to stay put and not entertain any thoughts of joining Paris Saint-Germain this summer, as per a reliable report.
As things stand, Kane has not shown any eagerness to extend his current contract with Spurs, which is set to expire at the conclusion of the 2023-24 season. While there have been no explicit indications of him actively pushing for a transfer away from North London, there is a looming risk of losing him for free within a year.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Kane’s future, chairman Daniel Levy remains steadfast in his belief that the prolific scorer will not be sold during this transfer window. In fact, Levy is still hopeful of securing a fresh contract for the talismanic player, with rumors suggesting that it could be an unprecedented deal worth up to £400,000 per week.
Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga champions, have been relentlessly pursuing Kane and have already seen two of their offers turned down. Nevertheless, the club’s honorary president, Uli Hoeness, exudes confidence that an agreement will eventually be reached.
On the other hand, a move to Manchester United no longer seems viable due to Levy’s reluctance to facilitate a transfer to a Premier League rival. PSG has emerged as a potential destination for Kane, where he could potentially fulfill his aspirations of winning major trophies.
Previously, it was believed that PSG would spare no expense to bring the striker to the Parc des Princes. However, recent reports from The Telegraph contradict these claims, asserting that Kane is not currently considering a move to the French capital and would reject any advances from Les Parisiens this summer.
This development leaves Bayern Munich in direct competition with Tottenham for Kane’s services. The English skipper’s strong desire to surpass Alan Shearer’s all-time Premier League goal-scoring record – with only 47 goals separating them – could prove decisive in Spurs’ favor.
Kane’s current top-flight goal tally stands at an impressive 213, and with two more prolific seasons, breaking the long-standing record of 260 seems within his grasp. However, despite the lack of a bidding war, Bayern may still need to cough up at least £100 million to secure his signature.
Amidst the ongoing speculation, Kane has joined Tottenham on their Asia-Pacific tour, where he reportedly had a positive meeting with new head coach Ange Postecoglou, who outlined his vision for the club’s future. Despite the meeting, it remains uncertain whether Kane can be swayed into committing to a new contract.
With Kane ruling out a move to Ligue 1, PSG will now shift their focus to Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic as a potential alternative, although the Serbian forward is also on Tottenham’s radar as a potential successor to Kane.
As Spurs gear up for their first game under Postecoglou against London rivals West Ham United in Perth, all eyes will be on Kane, who is expected to lead the line in this friendly encounter. The future of this prolific striker continues to captivate football fans worldwide, and only time will reveal the outcome of this high-stakes transfer saga.
