Barcelona have made contact with Harry Kane's representatives as they explore a sensational move for the England captain. Kane, 32, has entered the final year of his contract with Bayern Munich, where he's enjoyed a prolific three campaigns.

The striker and his family are settled in Bavaria, with informal talks over a new deal taking place last season. But as things stand, Kane's long-term future remains uncertain.

Kane's camp are said to have shut down the conversation during a phone call with Barcelona, and their focus after the World Cup will be agreeing a new contract at Bayern. The German giants are desperate to keep Kane, who scored an obscene 61 goals in 51 games for his club last season.

Barca are looking for a new No.9 after former Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski decided to leave the Camp Nou. Hansi Flick's side have made efforts to sign ex-Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez, but Atletico Madrid are currently refusing to sell him to a domestic rival.
