Barcelona Candidate Xavi Vilajoana Claims Contact With Harry Kane in Election Pledge

The pledge remains conditional on a March 15 victory with any deal requiring approval from Bayern plus the player.

Overview

  • Vilajoana told ESPN he has "already made some contact" with Kane’s camp and named the Bayern striker as his preferred centre-forward target.
  • Kane is contracted to Bayern until 2027 with a reported release clause of around €60 million, and the club says it is in intensive talks over his future.
  • Coverage stresses the promise is political campaign messaging rather than an agreed transfer, with feasibility tied to election outcomes and negotiations.
  • Barcelona’s need for a striker is highlighted as Robert Lewandowski’s deal expires this summer, prompting candidates to tout marquee options.
  • Vilajoana is one of four confirmed candidates for the March 15 vote, with rivals including returning contender Joan Laporta and Victor Font.
