Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is reportedly uninterested in signing for Paris Saint-Germain despite genuine interest from the French club.

The Englishman is wanted by both PSG and Bayern Munich, who have already sent in two bids for him this summer.

However, according to Sportsmail, Kane only wants to sign for Bayern this summer. PSG want to do a swap deal with Tottenham that could see them offer emerging youngster Xavi Simmons plus cash for the 30-year-old striker.

But Kane is instead set on a move to Bayern Munich, who recently sent in a £70m bid, with Levy holding out for over £100million for his prized striker.

Despite the uncertainty around his future, the 30-year-old striker, who scored 30 goals in 38 Premier League appearances last season, has travelled with Ange Postecoglou’s squad to Australia for their pre-season tour.

He returned to training last week and held talks with Postecoglou, who admitted that he had not heard anything from Bayern Munich on the forwards’ potential departure.

“There are a lot of people that know Harry better than me, but he’s not going to get fazed by anything,” the Australian manager said. 

“He’s here, and while he’s here, he’s totally committed to what we’re doing. 

“That’s the way I’ve seen things. In terms of me, it has zero impact on me. No one has spoken to me from Munich. If other clubs want to talk about our contracted players, that’s more of an issue for them than us.”

“Just a good chat,’ he added when asked about how the conversation went. ‘Nothing earth-shattering or defining. I introduced myself, and we spoke mainly about the club and where he thinks it’s at, and where he thinks we can improve things.

“It was more about the collective and what we’re doing. Me and Harry were perfectly aligned in that we want to see a successful team this year.”

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly ready to enter the race for the signature of Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane.

Kane’s future is subject to intense speculation as it has emerged he wants to move to a more competitive club this summer.

However, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is playing hardball and is reluctant to sell the player despite two huge bids from Bayern Munich.

The Bundesliga club believe the 30-year-old wants to join them, and their chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen met with Levy on Thursday.

According to Sportsmail, PSG are preparing to make a bid for Kane. Their presence could force the price above the £70m Bayern have offered.

The Bavarians insist they will draw the line at a certain point and consider returning in January if Kane commits to joining them.

Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel is a huge fan of Kane, but Bayern have been unsuccessful so far in their pursuit of the England captain. 

PSG’s interest will no doubt complicate things for the Bundesliga side if they are to seal the deal this summer. 

Meanwhile, Manchester United, who are looking to sign Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta now, would also return for Kane next summer if he allows his contract to run his own.
