Barcelona explore sensational deal to sign Harry Kane after World Cup - and have reached out to England captain's camp

Barcelona have reached out to the representatives of Harry Kane to explore a deal to sign the England captain.

Daily Mail Sport understands that after expressing their interest, the Catalan giants have agreed to revisit the situation once Kane’s participation at the World Cup is over.

The Bayern Munich striker, 32, has one year to run on his contract and Barcelona are looking at ways to finance an ambitious move.

Kane is extremely happy in Bavaria and the Bundesliga champions would resist any attempt to sign their star player.

We understand the player’s camp shut down the conversation after a phone call from Barca exploring a move. It is thought that their focus post-tournament will be a new deal at Bayern.

However, the picture will only become clear after England’s World Cup is over, with Kane fully focused on his country’s progression through the knockout rounds. England take on DR Congo in the last 32 in Atlanta on Wednesday.

He has scored three goals during the group stage so far, on the back of his remarkable 61 in 51 games for Bayern last season.

Barcelona are in the market for a striker after the departure of Robert Lewandowski.

Sources have told us they are prepared to go all out to sign Kane should there be any encouragement that a deal is possible.
