Barcelona made an enquiry for Tottenham striker Harry Kane last year, only to see their advances swiftly rejected by chairman Daniel Levy, according to reports.
The Catalan side have long been seeking out a fresh face to lead the line for them, with Luis Suarez recently turning 33, and Inter forward Lautaro Martinez has been heavily linked with a move to the Nou Camp in recent months.
But before they began making moves for the Argentine, one of their top targets was Spurs talisman Kane, and club president Josep Bartomeu approached Levy to discuss a transfer, as reported by Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo.
