Kane is one of the best strikers in the world at the moment, having scored a staggering 146 goals in 147 games for Bayern, including 61 in 51 appearances in the season just gone.

Barcelona could undoubtedly do with a quality player like that coming in to replace the departing Robert Lewandowski, but it doesn’t look like it’ll be easy as Bayern remain in control of Kane’s situation.

Christian Falk on Harry Kane’s future

Falk is well-connected when it comes to German football, and he seems confident that Kane is not pushing to leave Bayern and that new contract talks could soon settle all of this.

“It is TRUE: Harry Kane’s representatives were contacted by Barcelona,” Falk wrote. “This was confirmed to me.

“But I also heard that Barcelona has no chance of snatching Kane from Bayern Munich. He wants to stay in Munich and sign a new contract.

“However, he doesn’t want to do that right this moment while he’s still competing in the World Cup with the English national team.

“Regardless, Kane just wants to negotiate with Bayern Munich, and I think they’ll find a solution.”

Sadly, it seems this isn’t currently on the agenda at all. All signs point towards Kane staying at the Allianz Arena, while maybe Barcelona will continue to be a suitor to watch out for.
