PSG evaluating Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane as Kylian Mbappe saga continues
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are apparently evaluating Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane as a summer target as Kylian Mbappe’s future remains uncertain.
According to Sky Sports, Mbappe sent a letter to PSG saying he doesn’t wish to take up the option to extend his contract after June 2024. And that could pose a problem for both PSG and eventually, Spurs.
Mbappe is one of the world’s best players. Losing him for nothing will be a financial catastrophe, so a summer sale in the coming weeks would make the most sense for the French giants.
And when top European teams need a new striker, Kane seems to be the go-to option. He has proven himself to be a consistent goalscorer for nearly a decade now.
Not ideal for Spurs
According to Matteo Moretto of Spanish outlet Relevo, Kane’s name is ‘gaining strength’ as a summer target for PSG. They are also after Victor Osimhen of Napoli and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Randal Kolo Muani, who is Mbappe’s teammate for France.
Just when we start to think Kane is safe from XYZ club’s interest, another team seems to pop up with the need to sign a proven No. 9. The only way to be relaxed about Kane’s future will be to get him to sign a new deal.
That doesn’t seem to be happening anytime soon. Kane’s situation is the same as Mbappe’s. The 29-year-old’s contract expires in the summer of 2024 (Transfermarkt).

One can imagine that Mbappe won’t be a cheap sale so if we do have to resort to selling Kane, let’s hope they put a huge chunk of that cash towards signing the England international. This would also ensure that if Kane does leave, he doesn’t join a direct English rival.
