Barcelona Election Promise Sparks Talk Around Harry Kane

During the presidential campaign at FC Barcelona, candidate Xavi Vilajoana publicly suggested signing Harry Kane as a future replacement for Robert Lewandowski. Kane remains central to Bayern Munich, earning about 25 million euros yearly with a market value near 65 million euros. Barcelona’s financial struggles make such a transfer highly unrealistic.

When the presidential election campaign at FC Barcelona intensified, one candidate grabbed headlines by linking his vision to a world-famous name from Bayern Munich. Xavi Vilajoana surprised supporters by posting an image of Harry Kane in a Barcelona shirt and claiming the club must combine youth development with the power to attract elite stars. Vilajoana stressed that nurturing La Masia talents remains a priority, but top-level signings are still necessary to keep Barcelona competitive.

Kane’s name has often been mentioned as a possible long-term successor to Robert Lewandowski in the central striker role, even though no official negotiations have been reported. From Bayern’s perspective, the statement changes nothing. Kane is a key figure in Munich and one of the team’s most reliable performers. Club insiders see his appearance in the Barcelona campaign more as political symbolism than a serious transfer signal. Financial reality also makes such a move highly unlikely.

Barcelona are burdened with heavy debt, while Kane earns close to 25 million euros gross per year. His current market value is estimated at about 65 million euros, and Bayern paid nearly 100 million euros to sign him in 2023. For now, the story remains an election promise rather than a realistic transfer plan.
