Lionel Messi should be replaced by Harry Kane, per Kylian Mbappe. But as the Argentine’s future at PSG is still in doubt, rumors claim Mbappe has suggested that Harry Kane be signed to replace the Barcelona legend.

The current deal between the north Londoners and the Tottenham hitman is slated to end in 2024.
