PSG show interest in Kane

PSG searching for striker and in contention to move for Kane, should Tottenham indicate a deal could be done; French side won’t be drawn into bidding war but a good relationship exists between president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Spurs chairman Daniel Levy; Kane’s contract has 12 months left While Kane is on their list of targets, PSG insiders have made it clear that they will not be drawn into a bidding war for Kane and any approach would be considered and rational.

They are aware of reports that Kane is not interested in moving to France and any move by PSG would be driven by signals from the player and Tottenham that a deal could be done.

Tottenham’s position has been clear all summer – Kane is not for sale. He has 12 months left on his Spurs contract and he has never said he wants to leave.

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has a good relationship with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy and there is a lot of mutual respect between the two men.

Sky Germany are reporting that Bayern Munich chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen and technical director Eric Neppe will meet Levy on Friday. This is one of many meetings – both in person and on calls – Bayern and Spurs have had.

Kane remains open to speaking formally to Bayern Munich if Spurs are satisfied it’s a good deal. The German champions are convinced he wants to join.

A gap in valuation still exists between Bayern and Spurs and dialogue between representatives of both clubs continues.

Kane will not sign a new contract with Tottenham this summer. Dialogue has also been open with PSG but Bayern believe Kane would choose them.

The risk for Spurs is keeping him beyond the window and losing an elite goalscorer on a free next summer, potentially to a Premier League rival. This is why Spurs are speaking to interested clubs abroad.

So what happens if Tottenham don’t agree a transfer fee with Bayern? If Kane remains at Tottenham he will simply get on with his football.

If that scenario presents itself what factors could encourage him to extend his contract later in the season? The simple answer is it would require Spurs turning into a side capable of winning trophies. That’s the gamble facing Levy. Otherwise he can expect the England captain to have his pick of clubs at home and abroad.
