"The problem with Harry Kane is that, although he is still an incredible player, signing him is a waste of money. You're signing him now, but how many years do you get for that? One, two, three, four? I don't know. Obviously, he's not showing any signs of ageing, but paying these amounts for a few years of performance seems incredible to me."
"I would have loved him to stay in the Premier League. I felt he had all the cards and gave them away for a very low price. I said that at the time too."
Barcelona should carefully weigh the financial risk of signing Harry Kane now because his remaining peak years are uncertain despite continued elite performance. Reports link Barcelona and other clubs with Kane. Paying large transfer fees and wages for potentially only a few top-level seasons would represent a poor return on investment. Kane displays no clear signs of decline, but short-term performance windows make high fees hard to justify. His move from the Premier League to Bayern Munich occurred for a fee judged low by some, suggesting he might have been better retained in English football. Clubs must balance immediate scoring benefits against contract length and long-term financial planning when acquiring an ageing but productive striker.
