European giants emerge as potential destination for PSG and Bayern Munich target Harry Kane: Reports 

Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham United - Pre-Season Friendly
Barcelona could join PSG and Bayern Munich in Harry Kane race.

Barcelona have emerged as a surprise potential destination for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Bayern Munich target Harry Kane.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker is in the final year of his contract at Spurs, bur there has been no indication he will pen fresh terms. Bayern have emerged as a serious suitor for the striker.

According to the Telegraph, Kane isn't interested in moving to PSG, while Bayern are yet to meet the player's £100+ million valuation. Now, it has been reported that Barcelona could enter the race for him next year.

According to the Athletic (h/t The Boot Room), Barca would be interested in signing him as a free agent at the end of next season. That is, of course, if he stays at Spurs this summer and doesn't sign a new deal.

Barcelona have former Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski in attack — the player the Bavarian giants seemingly wish to replace with Kane. Vitor Roque is set to join the Blaugrana in January after a €40 million fee was agreed with Club Athletico Paranaense earlier this month.

Lewandowski is 34 but hasn't shown any signs of slowing down. The Polish superstar, who won the La Liga Golden Boot (23 goals) last season, has a contract till 2026 and has hinted that he wants to see out the deal.

Meanwhile, Kane, 29, is Tottenham (280)'s and England (58)'s all-time top goal-scorer.


PSG and Bayern Munich target Harry Kane could give up on PL record pursuit if he leaves England

Harry Kane became Tottenham Hotspur's all-time top-scorer when he scored the only goal in his team's 1-0 league win over Manchester City in February.

With that goal in north London, Kane took his tally beyond Jimmy Greaves' 266 strikes for Spurs. After the game, Kane signalled his desire to beat Alan Shearer's long-standing Premier League record. He said (via Reuters):

"I'm feeling good. I saw Alan earlier in the week. I'm sure he'll be watching but not sure if he'll be happy or not! I've got plenty of goals to come, I'm feeling good. Alan has set the record to beat. I'll see if I can beat it."

Shearer, who retired in 2006, scored 260 Premier League goals in 441 games. The record still stands, but Kane is now just 47 goals away from it.

A move to Bayern Munich, PSG, Barcelona or any foreign club will end the England captain's pursuit of the record, unless, of course, if he plans a return to the Premier League after that.
