Election fever is taking over at FC Barcelona in recent weeks, and this is bound to be the case until a new president is elected in mid-March. During this time, it will come as no surprise to see different presidential pre-candidates name-drop transfer targets to attract the Culers’ attention.
Among the presidential pre-candidates, one of them, Xavier Vilajoana, has already started the age-old trick, revealing that his camp had initiated talks with Harry Kane’s entourage over a potential move to Barcelona, should he be elected.
As quoted by [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20260220/1004131853/vilajoana-hemos-contactado-entorno-harry-kane.html), here is what he said: **“We have started contacts with Kane’s entourage. We have to work with prudence and professionalism. We are studying profiles, and Kane is one of them. He is a goal scorer, good in link-up play, and a killer in tight spaces, which Barça needs.”**
It is no secret that Barcelona need a new striker come the summer. Robert Lewandowski is 37, and age seems to be catching up with the legendary Pole. He is in the final few months of his contract with the Catalan club.
While Lewandowski still continues to be a lethal goalscorer, [his ability to play back-to-back games has gone down a bit](https://semprebarca.com/hansi-flicks-masterstroke-is-bringing-the-best-out-of-ageing-barcelona-star-report/). Hansi Flick has used Ferran Torres as a starter in many games so far this season, with middling returns.
In terms of profile, there is no denying that Kane is exactly the kind of striker that Barcelona need. He guarantees goals and is having one of the best seasons of his career for Bayern Munich. If a transfer materializes, he would be arriving at a similar age to Lewandowski when he came here.
However, all these election-driven quotes must be taken with a pinch of salt. Barcelona’s finances might not allow them to sign Kane, and it remains to be seen how the cookie crumbles.
