The fact that Barcelona is aiming for Harry Kane is far from true.
The news that Barcelona is aiming for Kane appeared on the 12th (Korean time). The Guardian said it was an exclusive report, adding that `Barcelona has made Kane the top target for recruitment as Robert Lewandowski's successor.'
The media reported that Barcelona, the Spanish champion, sees 32-year-old England captain Kane as the ideal replacement as the 37-year-old Polish striker Lewandowski's contract expires in June. The club is reportedly ready to invoke the £57 million buyout clause included in Kane's Bayern Munich contract this summer.
Barcelona does not appear to be considering re-signing Lewandowski. Lewandowski's replacement is on the list of players from all over the world. Only Elling Holan, Kylian Mbappe, Kane and Usman Dembele could be mentioned. Kane is the only player who can be recruited realistically here. Holan and Mbappe are absolutely impossible to recruit, and Dembele was the worst recruit in Barcelona's history, so there is no justification for Dembele to re-join.
Barcelona's approach seemed like a possible scenario, as it is said that Kane will leave Bayern next summer. However, reports of counter-argument immediately emerged.
The Athletic of the U.S. said on the 18th 'As is well known, Barcelona is seeking to recruit a striker next summer. 37-year-old Lewandowski admits Barcelona are looking for a Lewandowski replacement but is ready to go all out for Bayern's Kane, saying his current contract ends in June and could leave the teamAlternatively, it is still too early to say that 32-year-old England captain Kane will be a replacement for Lewandowski.
The Athletic said in a direct report with senior Barcelona officials that `no move has yet been initiated. They stress that it is not too early to address the issue, but that it is virtually impossible given that next year's club presidential election is scheduled. Barcelona will elect a new chairman to lead the club for the next five years before the summer, so its long-term sports plan is currently on hold, he explained.
The player Juan Laporta, the current Barcelona president, wants is Julián Alvarez, but Alvarez is a key player at Atletico Madrid and the transfer fee is too high. There is a big difference in recruitment difficulty with Kane, who has a buyout.
Barcelona is still experiencing financial problems, making it difficult to invest a lot of transfer fees. The Athletic added 'Barcelona is expected to be in a very tight financial situation even in the upcoming transfer window. This is especially true in relation to the salary restrictions imposed by Spain's La Liga. Officials at Barca's finance department have acknowledged in recent months that the club needs more time to restore the rules to normal operational levels. In conclusion, there are still too many variables before Kane becomes a realistic recruitment target.
