Update on Barcelona’s Harry Kane interest after previous contacts, plus another big-name transfer target

“Like I’ve said before, we’re calm, I think they’re calm with the situation.

“Obviously now is the time to start talking, because there’s only a year left. That’s important. But both sides are relaxed, and I’m pretty sure there’ll be some talks this week or next week.”

It doesn’t sound like it will be easy to get Kane out of Bayern, but Barcelona are another huge club and if there isn’t progress in contract talks soon, then there could be an opportunity.

Still, overall it might be worth looking into other targets, even if Man City goal machine Haaland seems like another who’d be very ambitious, perhaps to the point of being totally unrealistic.

As the table above shows, Kane or Haaland would actually be a major step up on Alvarez in terms of the consistency of their goal-scoring in the last two seasons.
