Barcelona told Harry Kane operation could cost almost €200m | OneFootball

In the last 24 hours, it’s been reported that Barcelona are ready to move for Harry Kane after the 2026 World Cup. The Catalans view the Bayern Munich striker as their preferred alternative to Julian Alvarez, whose signing is proving difficult due to Atletico Madrid’s strong desire not to sell to one of their direct rivals.

Kane is undoubtedly one of the best strikers in the world right now, and given that he’s 32, there is a feeling that Barcelona could get at least 2-3 good seasons out of him – as they did with Robert Lewandowski, who was also signed from Bayern in 2022. However, their interest is not as far advanced as first reported.

The reports from England have claimed that Barcelona will go all-out for Kane after the World Cup, but according to Sport, they have only held initial talks with the England international’s representatives, at which point they were hold that he is very happy at Bayern, and hopes to sign a new contract in the coming weeks.

Kane operation could advance if Bayern fail to agree terms

Right now, Barcelona have the Kane operation on the backburner, and the only way it becomes active is if Bayern fail to agree a new contract with their star striker, whose current deal is due to expire at the end of next season. A move could happen later in the summer, but even if it does, the Catalans have been told that the total package could get close to €200m.

Bayern would reportedly demand a fee just below €100m if they were to entertain the sale of Kane, while the player himself would be asking for a four-year contract (which he already wants at Bayern) at €25m per year – a total of €100m. This could be too much for a club still unsure about its financial situation, although a final decision will not be made for a few weeks.
