Barcelona plot Kane bid in search for Lewandowski successor | OneFootball

Barcelona have made Harry Kane their leading target as the club look to sign a replacement for Robert Lewandowki.

Kane is at the forefront of Barcelona’s thinking in the club’s search for a centre-forward, according to The Guardian, with the England captain free to leave Bayern Munich for a fee of £57m in the summer.

The 32-year-old is understood to remain happy at the German champions, though the attraction of Barcelona could prove tempting in the summer.

Kane has scored a staggering 108 goals in 113 games for Bayern since joining from Tottenham Hotspur in a €100m deal in 2023.

He has won back-to-back top scorer awards in Germany, alongside a maiden European Golden Shoe, in Bavaria, and last season ended a personal trophy drought with Bundesliga title success.

Despite turning 33 next summer, Barcelona believe Kane has several seasons remaining at the highest level and would be an ideal replacement for Lewandowski, whose deal expires in the summer.

The latter joined Barcelona from Bayern in 2022 and has scored 108 goals across three-and-a-half seasons. However, the Poland international will turn 38 next August.

Tottenham have a first-option on Kane, though England’s record scorer cast doubt on a Premier League return last month. He had been expected to return to England at some stage, with Kane trailing Alan Shearer’s all-time Premier League goal record by just 47 goals.

“In terms of the Premier League, I don’t know,” Kane said while on England duty.

“If you had asked me when I first left to go to Bayern, I would have said for sure I would come back.

“Now I have been there a couple of years I would probably say that has gone down a little bit, but I wouldn’t say I would never go back.

“What I have learnt in my career is that different opportunities and different timings happen and things fall in place. Going back to my first point with Bayern right now I am fully all in with Bayern.”
