Barcelona increasingly leaning towards transfer move for Harry Kane | OneFootball

Barcelona are increasingly warming to the idea of making a move for Harry Kane next summer as the club plans for life after Robert Lewandowski, per Mundo Deportivo.

With Lewandowski’s contract winding down, Barca view the signing of a top-tier striker as a key part of their rebuild.

Julian Alvarez remains admired inside the club, but Atletico Madrid’s reluctance to sell makes him an unlikely target. That has pushed Kane to the forefront of Barcelona’s thinking.

The 32-year-old reportedly has a release clause of around €65 million that becomes active at the end of the season.

This figure is considered excellent value by Barca chiefs in a market where elite strikers are costing eye-watering sums.

However, their interest in Kane goes well beyond his affordability. He is one of the best players in the world right now.

The Englishman has bagged 23 goals in 17 matches for Bayern this season. Barcelona view him as a complete forward.

There is also confidence within the club that Kane would adapt seamlessly.

His form in Germany has already shown he can thrive away from the Premier League, removing one of the potential doubts about such a move.

Barca are not expected to make final decisions until early 2026.

They can pursue a marquee striker only if Lewandowski leaves, clearing the €40m impact his salary and amortisation have on the books.

The club are also exploring reinforcements at left-back, with Alejandro Grimaldo wanted to provide competition for Alejandro Balde.

Grimaldo will have only one year left on his contract this summer, and a return to boyhood club Barca is on the cards.
