  • Lionel Messi urged Paris Saint-Germain to sign Tottenham forward Harry Kane
  • Messi spent two seasons with PSG before leaving the Ligue 1 club this summer
  • PSG are in search of a new centre forward with Kylian Mbappe also set to leave

Harry Kane could be on the move and the England international could end up as a Paris Saint-Germain player by the end of the 2023 summer transfer window.

The 29-year-old is top of the shopping list of the Parisians as they continue their search for a marquee centre-forward, with Kylian Mbappe set to leave this summer.

According to Goal, Lionel Messi reportedly recommended to PSG that they make a move for Kane, who has entered the final year of his contract at Premier League club, Tottenham Hotspur.

The Englishman is a top target for Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich, but the Ligue 1 champions are prepared to hijack the deal for the forward as they seek to follow Messi’s advice.

Kane has played for Tottenham for 13 seasons and during that time, the England captain has played 456 matches and scored 284 goals for the Premier League club.

Tottenham hands Kane deal ultimatum

Meanwhile, Tottenham have ordered Kane to either sign a new deal or be sold this summer, following the England captain’s refusal to sign a new deal, the Daily Mirror reports.

Spurs owner, Joe Lewis, is reportedly frustrated by the current impasse between the club and its star and has told Daniel Levy to offload the forward if the situation does not change.

Kane, who is a target for Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, still has 12 months to run on his current Tottenham contract and could leave as a free agent next summer.

Kane warned against joining PSG

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on former Tottenham midfielder, Jamie O'Hara advising Kane against joining PSG, despite the French club looking to bolster their attacking options after the departure of Messi and the uncertainty surrounding Mbappe's future.

Additionally, the 29-year-old striker is also being pursued by Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich. However, Manchester United's interest in him has cooled down due to Spurs' obvious reluctance to sell their prized asset to their Premier League rival.
