Barça Eyes Kane: €65M Bid After Lewandowski Exit

FC Barcelona is targeting Harry Kane as priority successor to Robert Lewandowski, whose contract expires in June 2026.

According to The Guardian et Sports Worldthe Blaugrana see the English striker from Bayern Munich as the ideal replacement, with a release clause that can be activated at 65 million euros from the summer of 2026.

Soap opera relaunched in Catalonia

Harry Kane, 32 years old and captain of England, has posted XXL statistics since his arrival at Bayern in 2023: more than 100 goals in 113 matches. Barça appreciates his complete profile – prolific scorer, creator and charismatic leader – considered superior to other options like Julián Álvarez, who are too expensive. Joan Laporta and Deco are actively preparing this file for the 2026/27 project, despite the club’s tight finances.

Clash of the titans: Bayern vs Barça!

Despite the Catalan interest, Kane recently reaffirmed his happiness in Munich, where Bayern is even considering an extension until 2028 or 2029. His clause at €65 million (around £57 million) makes the operation affordable for Barça, well below his record transfer of 2023. The Iberian media insist: without the sale of Lewandowski (annual cost >€40 million), this great striker remains conditional, but the Kane option is gaining ground against competition from the Premier League.

This possible transfer of the century could reshape the Barcelona attack. It remains to be seen whether Kane, a potential record holder, will succumb to the Catalan siren song or remain faithful to Bavaria to hunt for trophies.
