Barcelona are ready to join arch-rivals Real Madrid in the market for Tottenham's Harry Kane, according to Mundo Deportivo via SportWitness.

What's the word?

Despite not getting on the scoresheet, Harry Kane showed his worth on international display for England in the thrilling 3-2 victory over Spain and it seems to have increased interest in the signature of the Tottenham striker.

Consistently linked with Real Madrid, Mundo Deportivo via SportWitness state that Barcelona have also joined the hunt as they eye a replacement for 31-year-old Luis Suarez, who has shown signs of decline after scoring 'only' 25 La Liga goals last term.

Kane, six years Suarez's junior, is seen as the 'ideal' recruit for Ernesto Valverde's side but a crippling wage bill means the Catalan giants may struggle to match Spurs' hefty asking price for the England captain.

Will he stay?

Harry Kane's future is very difficult to predict and a lot likely hinges on how Tottenham manage to do this season, as they balance an imminent stadium move with a stern battle to fight for honours and secure a top-four finish.

A lack of Champions League football next season will increase the chances of Kane jumping ship and a failure to win a trophy could do the same. With Spurs potentially suffering financial implications after moving home, it is a testing time for the club.

However, Kane's huge valuation provides a stumbling block for Barcelona as they would struggle to match that figure and Real Madrid may also face problems if they push ahead for a move as it is difficult to see Los Blancos signing both Kane and Chelsea's Eden Hazard - and the latter is easier to secure due to his contract situation.
