Transfer Talk: PSG in the hunt for Kane as Messi deal stalls

French giants Paris Saint-Germain are dreaming of signing Tottenham striker Harry Kane this summer as a new deal for Lionel Messi stalls.

The England captain, 29, could look to depart North London at the end of the season should Spurs fail to qualify for the Champions League and has just one year left on his contract.

And reports from Le Parisien suggest that the Ligue 1 champions will make the No10 their top target as they look to revamp their squad ahead of the 2023-24 campaogn.

Rumours have linked Messi with a sensational return to Barcelona after the Argentinian icon was forced out of the Camp Nou due to the club's financial issues two years ago.

But Kane is considered by club chiefs to be the perfect partner for Kylian Mbappe, who is keen to win the Champions League with his hometown club.

The Three Lions ace has bagged 23 goals in the Premier League for Spurs this season despite their struggles under Antonio Conte.

Now managerless, the eight-time FA Cup winners sit three points off Newcastle in fourth and a loss to the Magpies on Sunday would all but kill their hopes of competing in Europe's top competition next term.

Kane is said to be open to discussing a new contract at his boyhood club, but may choose to depart in search of silverware that would be almost guaranteed at PSG.
