Barcelona’s presidential hopeful Xavi Vilajoana has thrown his hat into the ring with a blockbuster promise Harry Kane to the Camp Nou.
The election at the Nou Camp is hotting up, and Vilajoana is going big. Really big. He’s claiming he’s already made contact with the England skipper’s reps about a sensational switch from Bayern Munich .
“Kane is a centre forward who would fit in perfectly with our style of play,” he told ESPN. “He’s a striker who is capable of dropping back to link up with his teammates. He is also capable of playing as a pure No.9, a killer, a finisher” .
The numbers don’t lie, 28 goals in the Bundesliga this season for the 32 year old . But here’s the catch. Kane’s release clause for this summer expired in January, meaning any deal would need Bayern’s blessing. And they ain’t letting their main man go cheap .
Still, Vilajoana’s confident. “We’re working on it,” he posted on social media . Ambitious? Definitely. Realistic? That’s another question entirely.
LIAM DELAP could be handed a Chelsea escape route, with Everton ready to offer him Premier League salvation.
The 23 year old striker’s move to Stamford Bridge has been a nightmare. Three goals in 30 games since his £30m switch from Ipswich, and the Blues are ready to cut their losses .
David Moyes is keen to add firepower at Goodison and has made Delap his top summer target . Chelsea reckon they can recoup most of that fee, but they’ll be scouring the market for a new senior striker themselves .
For Delap, a move to Merseyside could be just the ticket, regular football without the Stamford Bridge spotlight.
CASEMIRO’S Manchester United farewell is looming and Inter Miami are leading the chase for his signature.
The Brazilian legend, 34 next week, has already confirmed he’s waving goodbye to Old Trafford after four years . And he’s been spotted in Miami with his missus, scoping out the area ahead of a potential switch to David Beckham’s franchise .
A move to DRV PNK Stadium would see him line up alongside old foe Lionel Messi, the pair spent years trading blows in El Clasico. Not bad for a bloke who’s also won five Champions Leagues with Real Madrid .
But it ain’t a done deal. Porto are keen, while boyhood club Sao Paulo are ready to offer a two year deal with a post playing role thrown in . Plenty for the midfield general to ponder as he prepares for one last dance at the World Cup this summer.
