Barcelona Explores Signing Harry Kane After England's World Cup Exit
Barcelona has approached representatives of Harry Kane to explore the possibility of signing the England captain, according to the Daily Mail. The Spanish champions expressed interest in the 32-year-old striker, who currently plays for Bayern Munich and holds a contract for one more season. However, Kane's camp has made it clear that any discussions will be postponed until after England's participation in the World Cup concludes.
Kane is reportedly very satisfied at Bayern Munich, which is expected to resist any attempts to transfer one of its top players. His representatives have declined Barcelona's initial inquiries, focusing instead on negotiating a contract extension with Bayern. Barcelona is seeking a new striker following the departure of Robert Lewandowski, who is expected to join Chicago Fire in Major League Soccer.
The situation is likely to become clearer after England's knockout stage matches in the World Cup. Kane has scored three goals in the group stage and had an outstanding season with Bayern, netting 61 goals in 51 games. England is set to face the Democratic Republic of Congo in the round of 32 on Wednesday in Atlanta, with Kane concentrating on his national team duties for now.
