Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly making an attempt to sign Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane.
The long-serving frontman has just over a year remaining on his contract with the North Londoners, naturally leading to speculation regarding his future.
As it stands, Spurs will give serious consideration to retaining the services of their key man if they do not receive an offer that meets their valuation.
However, their position at the negotiating table has been weakened by missing out on Champions League qualification, something which Kane strives for at this stage of his career.
With the money that they will miss out on from not competing in that competition, there is an argument that Spurs can ill-afford to risk losing Kane on a free transfer in 2024.
Chairman Daniel Levy is said to remain against selling the 29-year-old to a Premier League rival, particularly when Spurs are at risk of falling out of the top tier of teams in English football.
Nevertheless, selling to a foreign club will be on the table should Kane express a desire to leave, and it appears that a move to France is a possibility.
According to Foot Mercato, PSG are ready to give priority to trying to tempt Kane into making the switch across the English channel.
The report claims that football advisor Luis Campos has already held discussions with the player's representatives to determine whether a deal is plausible.
PSG are in a position where they must boost their position with FFP this summer, while there is also a plan to adopt a change of strategy where younger players are signed instead of established names.
That said, it is reported that PSG want to sign a new number nine, particularly when Lionel Messi will almost certainly leave Parc des Princes and Neymar could follow.
Hugo Ekitike is likely to take the same path out of Parc des Princes once he officially signs on a permanent deal in the summer, and it will leave PSG desperate for reinforcements.
Spurs may consider a sale in the region of £80m if a foreign club puts together such a proposal, with any bid from Premier League clubs likely needing to be higher. body check tags ::
