The anxiety is even getting stronger after Lionel Messi and Barcelona negotiations broke down and Messi would have to move on. Where would the Argentine be going now and which club would be to afford the Price for the world's best player?
There's also a break down of negotiations between Nigeria's goal scoring machine, Paul Onuachu and West Ham. And Nigerian fans really wanted Onuachu to play in the Premiership this coming season.
Now with the transfer window approaching its final few weeks, the rumours are once again getting stronger and stronger, with Kane failing to show up to Spurs training on his return from holiday, raising a few eyebrows about his future at the club. Borussia Dortmund are holding strong their prolific striker Erling Haaland, at least for one more season.
However, anything can still happen before the close of the transfer window this summer. The world is still watching to see where Paul Onuachu, Harry Kane, Erling Haaland and Lionel Messi would end up this summer.
Paul Onuachu
Genk are open to letting the lanky Nigerian striker who scored 35 goals last season leave but they want a club record fee of around €26m (£22m) as transfer fee…
“West Ham were the most advanced in talks but sources close to the deal revealed that after the latest negotiations two weeks ago, the English side haven’t returned for talks.
West Ham boss Moyes has pulled out of talks and West Ham United has decided to end their interest in signing 26-year-old Nigerian forward Paul Onuachu from Genk.
Harry Kane
Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is being heavily linked with a potential Premier League record £150million transfer to Manchester City in this summer's transfer window
With Harry Kane being strongly linked with a move away from Tottenham Hotspur this summer, it will be expected that Spurs will demand a huge transfer fee from any club that try to acquire his services.
With Sergio Aguero leaving Manchester City for Barcelona, City are looking for a replacement striker and it's no secret that Kane is Pep Guardiola's top priority target this summer, with the striker reportedly holding talks with Spurs next week about a potential move to City.
Erling Haaland
Chelsea have ended their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland this summer, according to reports.
The 21-year-old was Chelsea's top striker target this summer but a deal was always going to be difficult following the departure of Jadon Sancho to Manchester United.
Haaland has a release clause of £68 million that becomes active next summer and Dortmund were reluctant to let go of their star man this window. It would have had to take an astronomical fee for the Blues to land the Norwegian this month, but the pursuit is now over
Dortmund were always insistent on Haaland remaining at the club for the 2021/22 season and that appears to be the case now, which will see them now keep him for a further year before his expected departure at the end of the season.
Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi is no longer a Barcelona player. Just let that sink in.
As a free agent Messi is free to sign for whomever he likes (and command an astronomical wage packet and signing-on fee in the process) but realistically there are only a few clubs who make sense.
In England, Manchester City certainly have the financial muscle as well as the presence of his old boss Pep Guardiola. City are the best team in England and one of the favourites for the Champions League. Furthermore their squad (particularly if Jack Grealish and Harry Kane arrive) is such that he will not be required to do everything as he has had to do in the past couple of seasons with Barcelona.
The other prominent option is of course PSG. Another state-funded club with more money than god. The reason to join PSG is pretty simple. Theoretically Ligue 1 will be easier than the Premier League (even if PSG lost the league to Lille last season) so there will be more scope for Messi to rest and target the Champions League. On top of that he will get to play with close friends Neymar and Angel Di Maria as well as rising superstar Kylian Mbappe.
