Barcelona, Spain -FC Barcelona have identified Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane as their primary target to replace Robert Lewandowski, with the England captain potentially available for a surprisingly affordable fee of €40-50 million (£35-43 million) next year, according to club sources.
The Catalan giants are already planning for life after Polish star Lewandowski, whose contract expires in 2026. Kane, who would be entering the final year of his Bayern contract next season, has emerged as the ideal candidate to lead Barcelona’s attack in the post-Lewandowski era.
Barcelona’s interest in Kane follows a similar financial strategy to how they acquired Lewandowski from Bayern Munich. The club believes they can negotiate a favorable deal as Kane’s contract situation weakens Bayern’s bargaining position.
“Kane represents everything Barcelona looks for in a center-forward,” said a source close to the club’s sporting department. “His goal-scoring record speaks for itself, but his ability to link play and create for others makes him perfect for our system.”
The 32-year-old England captain continues to deliver elite performances for Bayern, having scored over 60 goals since joining the German champions from Tottenham in 2023. His experience at the highest level and proven track record in both the Premier League and Bundesliga make him an attractive option for Barcelona’s sporting directors.
Financial considerations are playing a crucial role in Barcelona’s transfer planning. The club views Kane’s potential price tag as exceptional value for a player of his caliber, especially compared to younger strikers who might command fees exceeding €100 million.
Barcelona’s strategy involves building a team around emerging talents like Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, with Kane providing the experienced focal point in attack. The club believes Kane’s leadership qualities and professional approach would have a positive influence on their younger players.
Bayern Munich has not commented on Barcelona’s interest, but reports from Germany suggest they are already preparing for the possibility of Kane’s departure by scouting potential replacements.
If the transfer materializes, it would represent another major coup for Barcelona in the transfer market and potentially restore their position among Europe’s elite clubs after several seasons of financial challenges and inconsistent performances.
