On December 9th, the Daily Star in England carried an exclusive report on Harry Kane, claiming the Tottenham Hotspur striker is wanted by Barcelona in a £200m (€222.3m) mega deal.
On Boxing Day, the Express also carried a report, citing Ladbrokes’ betting odds being slashed as an indication that the La Liga winners are favourites ahead of Real Madrid in signing the England international.
A ‘confidential’ report from Catalan outlet Sport takes a look at these rumours in today’s edition of the newspaper.
It is explained that the Blaugrana do not doubt the north London club’s star qualities and are aware he is one of the most important strikers in the world, but that does not mean the Spanish champions will make an approach for the 25-year-old.
Despite several reports in England suggesting that Ernesto Valverde’s side are interested in the Spurs player, Sport mentions that at Barca, they ‘know absolutely nothing’ about the reports linking Kane to them.
In addition to this, Barcelona will not make such a mammoth offer for a player, meaning this should put speculation linking Kane with a move to Spain to bed.
