Barcelona have already strengthened their squad during the summer transfer window.
However, the Catalan giants continue to explore opportunities to improve their attacking options ahead of the new season. The club are now looking at another high-profile addition.
Barcelona have identified one of Europe’s leading goalscorers as a potential target. The Spanish side are also prepared to step up their efforts after the FIFA World Cup.
Initially, they wanted to sign Julian Alvarez. However, Atletico Madrid’s firm stance has compelled Barcelona to look elsewhere.
According to the Daily Mail, Barcelona have already contacted Harry Kane’s representatives to register their interest.
The report claims Barcelona have informed Kane’s camp of their interest. They are also exploring ways to finance a move for the England captain, who has one year remaining on his contract.
However, Kane’s representatives have reportedly rejected Barcelona’s initial approach.
Despite that setback, the Catalan club are expected to revisit the situation once the World Cup comes to an end.
Barcelona are prepared to push hard if they believe a deal can be completed. Kane has enjoyed another outstanding season for Bayern Munich.
The England captain scored 61 goals in 51 matches before carrying that form into the World Cup, where he has already found the net three times in three group-stage matches.
However, the report also states that the striker remains extremely happy at Bayern Munich.
His representatives are expected to open discussions over a new contract with the German club after his World Cup campaign finishes. For now, Barcelona’s interest has not progressed beyond an initial approach.
However, the club intend to monitor the situation closely before deciding whether to make another move after the World Cup.
