Lewandowski successor: Barcelona set their sights on Harry Kane | OneFootball

Harry Kane is considered an absolute key player at FC Bayern. Now, FC Barcelona apparently has their eyes on the Englishman. The 32-year-old is being discussed as a successor for Robert Lewandowski.

FC Barcelona is already planning the long-term succession of Robert Lewandowski, whose contract ends in 2026. The 37-year-old striker may not remain with the Catalans then. For a long time, Julián Álvarez from Atlético Madrid was considered the favorite to succeed the former Bayern striker – due to his age and development potential, according to Spanish reports. But in recent months, a new name has come into the conversation: Harry Kane.

El Nacional now reports that Barca's sporting director Deco sees Kane as the perfect reinforcement for the Blaugrana. The Bayern key player should therefore follow Lewandowski.

Kane under contract at Bayern until 2027

Kane is under contract at Bayern until 2027. In the past two years, the center-forward has become a key player of the German record champions. His numbers in the Munich jersey are impressive: Kane has now scored 65 goals in 64 Bundesliga games, including eight hat-tricks. Since his transfer to FC Bayern, the center-forward has scored at least six more goals than any other player in the top five leagues in Europe.

After the rout over Leipzig (6:0), Kane spoke about the interaction in the offense. About the connection to Michael Olise, he said: "I've been playing with Michael for a year now and I feel that our relationship is getting stronger. He was outstanding in the first half, the goals he scored."

He then also spoke about Luis Díaz and explained: "And Lucho, it's only been a few weeks, but I feel like we had an immediate connection, he gave me a few assists today."
