Today, Harry Kane and Michael Olise are central figures in Bayern Munich’s high-powered attack – but, apparently, they could have ended up at Paris Saint-Germain together instead.

French sports newspaper L’Équipe, citing an anonymous source within PSG, claims that both players held talks with the French giants but ultimately chose against joining them.

In 2023, following the departures of Lionel Messi and Neymar, PSG explored a move for Kane, but the England international “did not really believe” in the project, according to the source, and instead ended up joining Bayern.

A similar situation is said to have occurred with Michael Olise, who ultimately joined Bayern a year later, in 2024, after PSG’s attempts to sign him also fell short.
