Barcelona Targets Bayern Munich's Harry Kane to Replace Lewandowski
13 Nov
Summary
- Barcelona plans for life after Lewandowski
- Kane under contract with Bayern Munich until 2027
- Barcelona could trigger Kane's €65 million release clause

As Barcelona prepares for life after Robert Lewandowski, the club has set its sights on a potential blockbuster transfer for Bayern Munich's Harry Kane. The 37-year-old Lewandowski's contract with the defending Spanish champions is set to expire this summer, and Barcelona is reportedly uninterested in offering him an extension due to his age and recent injury history.
With Lewandowski's place in the starting XI increasingly taken by Ferran Torres, Barcelona is turning to the transfer market to find a long-term successor. According to recent reports, the Catalans have labeled Kane as their "first-choice target" and could be willing to trigger the England captain's release clause, worth a reported €65 million.
However, the potential move faces several obstacles, primarily Barcelona's ongoing financial woes and Kane's desire to remain at Bayern Munich, where he is under contract until 2027. Should the transfer come to fruition, though, Kane would slot right into the starting No. 9 role at Barcelona, bringing his clinical finishing and playmaking abilities to Hansi Flick's attack.
The addition of Kane would bolster Barcelona's frontline, which is expected to feature Lamine Yamal and Raphinha on the wings, with Dani Olmo as the team's No. 10. In midfield, Pedri and Frenkie de Jong would continue to pull the strings, while the defense would see the continued presence of Jules Koundé, Alejandro Balde, and the partnership of Pau Cubarsí and Ronald Araújo.
