Bayern duo targeted: Are Barça eyeing up the record champions? | OneFootball

FC Barcelona is making waves with new transfer rumors. According to the Catalan portal El Nacional, the Spanish top club is interested in a spectacular double deal. Barça reportedly has Harry Kane and Dayot Upamecano from FC Bayern on their radar.

The Catalans have particularly set their sights on Kane. Coach Hansi Flick is said to be convinced that the captain of the English national team fits perfectly into the Blaugrana system. In addition to his scoring ability, Barcelona also admires his leadership qualities.

For Barça, the search for a successor to Robert Lewandowski is an important issue. The Pole will already be 38 years old in the summer of 2026, and although he still plays at a top level, the question of long-term occupation of the striker position inevitably arises. Kane, whose contract with FC Bayern runs until 2027, is considered an ideal solution.

Dayot Upamecano also arouses interest. The central defender has become a key figure in defense under Vincent Kompany. According to El Nacional, Barça is particularly attracted by the fact that his contract in Munich expires in the summer of 2026. This could make him available on a free transfer in the medium term – a scenario that would suit the financially troubled Catalans.

For the German record champions, the situation is complicated. With Upamecano, the question of a contract extension arises to avoid a situation similar to the one with David Alaba. Bayern boss Christoph Freund has recently emphasized that the extension is high on Munich's to-do list.

In the case of Kane, however, the club is secured until 2027 but would demand a correspondingly high transfer fee in the event of a transfer.

A double deal with Kane and Upamecano sounds appealing from FC Barcelona's perspective but seems hardly feasible – also because the Catalans are financially hardly in a position to handle such two costly transfers.
