Bayern Munich chief confirms renewal talks with Barcelona target: ‘He feels very comfortable’ | OneFootball

Barcelona are desperately on the lookout for a new summer striker signing, one that can potentially replace Robert Lewandowski’s impact and role in the team.

The veteran, after all, is now 37 years of age and his future at the Catalan capital is uncertain.

Several players, including Julian Alvarez and Dusan Vlahovic, have been linked with a move to Barcelona, with the latter’s name gaining prominence in recent days.

One of their dream targets, however, is Harry Kane.

The Bayern Munich striker strikes the administration as the perfect candidate and profile to replace Lewandowski, and they even made an initial approach to his entourage recently.

However, they were shot down instantly by his environment, prioritising a renewal in Germany instead.

“I can’t comment on the rumours circulating around us about whether someone is preparing something,” he began, referring to links including those to Barcelona.

“I can only say that we are in close contact with Harry regarding him and our success,” he added.

Clarifying the current situation between Bayern and Kane, he confirmed that the parties had not yet begun negotiations but were in talks over the next step.

“The other steps will be taken later. They asked me and I said, ‘We’re talking.’ I didn’t say we were negotiating. Negotiations have not yet begun.”

Finally, the sporting director transmitted that the Germans were very confident in sealing the renewal for reasons beyond just the sporting aspect.

“Be very confident. He feels very comfortable in Munich; he has adapted there, just like his family. Therefore, we are not in any hurry.”
