Paris Saint-Germain is in the market for No. 9 this summer transfer window. The capital club has to move Kylian Mbappé to the wing, should he stay on the team, and replace the goal production by Lionel Messi.
Le Parisien reported on Tuesday that PSG is activating the file to pursue Harry Kane, who they’ve been linked to but isn’t their No. 1 target. The French media outlet notes that the Ligue 1 side’s pursuit of Victor Osimhen is complicated.
However, a push for Harry Kane will be challenging too. Tottenham Hotspur, Kane’s current club, recently rejected a substantial offer from Bayern Munich. The Bavarian club proposed a deal worth €70 million, supplemented by additional incentives.
Big news from David.
It will be rejected. As with 2021, it all comes down to whether a team is prepared to pay what Spurs are asking. https://t.co/4HcbEMiTym

Kane, who has only one year remaining on his contract, possesses immense value as one of the world’s premier strikers. This rejection indicates Tottenham’s firm stance on retaining their star player and unwillingness to negotiate his departure at a discounted price.
As PSG pursues Kane, they recognize the need for a comprehensive strategy to secure his services. The English forward’s goal-scoring prowess and proven track record make him an attractive proposition for the Parisian club as they aim to bolster their attacking lineup.
