Barcelona presidential candidate Xavi Vilajoana posted a message on social media yesterday about the possibility of signing Harry Kane if he wins next month’s elections.
Vilajoana has now been speaking to the media and claims to have been in touch with the Bayern Munich striker about a possible transfer.
“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,” he told ESPN.
“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.”
“I also know that he likes Barcelona. In fact, there are very few players who don’t like Barcelona. So it’s a matter of talking about it, obviously.”
Vilajoana also thinks Barcelona need a new center-back but stopped short of naming any names this time around.
“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,” he added.
“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.”
The names of Harry Kane and Julian Alvarez are being thrown around a lot by the presidential candidates right now. Expect plenty more talk of big name signings in the coming days and weeks as the electoral process heats up.
