According to a report from France, in one of his final acts before leaving the club recently, Lionel Messi recommended PSG sign Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
Messi had spent the last two seasons with Ligue 1 giants PSG but struggled to truly settle in France.
He has now left the club on a free transfer at the end of his contract and signed for David Beckham’s Inter Miami side in the MLS.
While Messi has enjoyed a glittering career full of personal accolades and trophies, his fellow forward Harry Kane has given everything to Tottenham in an attempt to bring success to North London.
Things haven’t quite worked out how he would hope at Spurs, and with just 12 months left on his contract, there is talk of Kane moving on.
Bayern Munich are currently the frontrunners to secure Kane’s signature this summer and the German outfit are increasingly confident they can get a deal over the line early next month (Football Insider).
However, PSG have also been linked with the England captain and it is thought Spurs chairman Daniel Levy might prefer to sell to the French club (Telegraph).
Lionel Messi told PSG to sign Harry Kane
He may have departed the French champions now, but Messi left PSG with a piece of advice, and it’s a recommendation which could cause problems for Tottenham this summer.
In a segment on After Foot RMC, it is suggested that Messi advised PSG that they should try to sign Kane from Spurs in order to add more firepower to their attack in his absence.
Spurs Web Opinion
A player like Harry Kane doesn’t really need recommending to anyone by now, as his reputation certainly precedes him.
PSG will no doubt have had an eye on Kane with or without Messi’s advice, and it shouldn’t really matter anyway as it’s pretty clear Kane doesn’t want to join them regardless.
