While everyone at Barcelona is hyping up Julian Alvarez, Xavier Vilajoana has his eyes on Harry Kane.
The Barca presidential hopeful even told ESPN his camp had made contact with the Bayern Munich striker over a possible summer move.
“What we’re missing is a striker,” he said.
“A centre forward who is capable of linking up play, but who is also a killer in the box.
“I think a good centre back is needed as well. I’m not saying that the ones we have aren’t good, but a centre back who can balance out the youth and inexperience.
“I think that with these two signings, and with what we have coming up through the ranks, with what we already have in the team, we wouldn’t need to make so many changes.”
Asked which striker he’d sign, he added: “There is one. In fact, we’ve already made some contact, and I think he’s a player who would be a great fit, pending his contractual situation: it’s Harry Kane.
“Kane is a centre forward who would fit in perfectly with our style of play. He’s a striker who is capable of dropping back to link up with his teammates. He is also capable of playing as a pure No.9, a killer, a finisher.
“He is a player who brings mobility. He also performs well when teams sit deep. He would add a lot of value to Barcelona’s game.”
Barca are set to lose Robert Lewandowski for free this summer, while Kane will be entering the final year of his Bayern deal with negotiations yet to begin.
