With a departure from Barcelona already confirmed, the question of who succeeds the Pole remains the biggest talking point in Spain. Mendieta believes the club should look no further than Bayern Munich talisman Kane, who was signed to replace Lewandowski at Allianz Arena in 2023. “I would love to see Harry Kane at Barcelona, in La Liga. He's a fantastic player who is, again, so unlucky with these trophies. Why not? We saw Robert Lewandowski arrive, nobody thought he would come to Barca, but he did,” Mendieta added.
The former Spain international added on the feasibility of such a deal: “I think right now Barca is in a much better financial position than it was two or three years ago. Looking at the team's ability to rebuild and be competitive and win. Well, they've won La Liga twice now. I think that will attract a lot of big players, as he was saying, deciding to go for less money than they would normally go to another club, just to go to Barcelona because it's Barcelona and to prioritise winning trophies there, rather than being somewhere they might not win.”
