Harry Kane should aim to surpass Robert Lewandowski at Bayern Munich instead of filling Polish legend’s boots at Barcelona
If Xavier Vilajoana is elected Barcelona president in mid-March, he’ll go all out for a serious signing in the summertime switch window. “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,” Vilajoana mentioned in an interview with ESPN this week.
“Kane is a center-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 team-mates. 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.”
He’s certainly got a point. Kane has excelled as each a supreme goal-scorer and playmaker at Bayern below Vincent Kompany, who favors the identical high-tempo, aggressive model of play as Barcelona boss Hansi Flick. It’s simple, then, to think about the England captain doing the identical stellar job at Camp Nou.
By the sounds of it, Kane will not be fully towards the thought, both, even when he’s sensibly enjoying it down in public.
“I haven’t heard anything about it. My father and brother handle everything, but they haven’t said anything to me,” he replied when asked about Vilajoana’s comments. “As I’ve already said, I’m very happy here at Bayern. I’m focused on this season and my time at Bayern. I take it as a compliment.”
That remaining sentence provides Barca some hope, and all die-hard culers He would certainly welcome the prospect of Kane changing Robert Lewandowski, whose contract expires at the tip of the season. Whether or not it is the most suitable choice at this stage in Kane’s profession, nonetheless, is one other matter solely.
