Barcelona’s informal approach for 32-year-old Bundesliga goal machine shot down | OneFootball

FC Barcelona are already scouring the market for replacements for star striker Robert Lewandowski for the summer.

The Poland captain, 37, is in the final few months of his contract and is likely to depart as a free agent at the end of the season.

As such, the Blaugrana have stepped up their search for a replacement, with players such as Julian Alvarez (Atletico Madrid) and Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus) being lined up as targets.

Another big-name striker who happens to be on Barcelona’s radar is Bayern Munich and England goal machine, Harry Kane.

Barcelona approach rejected

In fact, according to an exclusive report from TouchlineX, Barcelona made an informal approach to Kane’s camp to assess the possibility of a summer transfer.

However, the Blaugrana’s overtures were shot down by the 32-year-old superstar’s entourage as he is already negotiating a renewal with Bayern Munich.

Kane’s current contract with the Bundesliga champions runs until the summer of 2027 and contains a release clause worth €65 million, which made him an attractive target for Barça.

However, the former Tottenham Hotspur captain is happy at the Allianz Arena and is already in talks over an extension, with the same being confirmed by the Bavarian giants recently.

“We are in talks with Harry,” Bayern Munich director Max Eberl said, as quoted by Transfermarkt.

The deal is expected to see Kane extend his stay at Bayern by two more years, as he is settled in Munich and is not considering a departure.

So, Barcelona’s chances of signing Kane in the summer transfer window appear to be slim to none, forcing the Catalans to look at alternatives in the market.
