FC Barcelona are already planning their next moves for the summer transfer window. As the club evaluates player performances and market opportunities, one priority is clear: finding the next great center forward. Robert Lewandowski’s contract runs until 2026, and by then he will be 38 years old. The time has come to look toward the future, and one name is starting to shine brighter than ever: Harry Kane.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the English striker’s name is gaining weight inside Barça’s offices as a possible replacement for the Polish forward. Kane, now 32, fits the profile the club is seeking: world-class, reliable, and a name that excites fans.
Why Kane is becoming a real option
There are several reasons why Kane’s candidacy is growing. The first is his contract situation with Bayern Munich. The Englishman reportedly has a release clause for next summer set at around 65 million euros. In today’s inflated market, that looks like a bargain, especially compared to recent transfers such as Liverpool paying 145 million for Isak or 95 million for Ekitiké.
Then there are the numbers. Kane has already scored 23 goals in 17 matches this season and boasts over 400 career goals across club and country. He is not only a lethal finisher but also a playmaker, contributing 127 assists in his professional career. His ability to drop deep, link play, and still deliver goals makes him one of the most complete forwards in modern football.
A professional and a leader
Kane’s appeal goes beyond statistics. As captain of the England national team, he carries a strong reputation as a professional and role model. At 188 cm tall, his aerial ability adds another dimension to Barça’s attack. Within the club, many believe he could deliver immediate impact, something crucial during the transition away from Lewandowski.
Other options on the table
Barcelona are also keeping an eye on Julián Álvarez, who is admired by Deco and Hansi Flick. However, his long-term contract until 2030 and Atlético’s unwillingness to sell make that deal far more complex. That is why Kane’s availability and proven experience make him a more realistic target for next summer.
Meanwhile, the club is also studying defensive reinforcements, especially at left-back, with Alejandro Grimaldo remaining a strong candidate, as previously reported by Mundo Deportivo.
Bottom line
Barcelona’s next transfer window will define the team’s future up front. Lewandowski’s departure would free up significant financial space, estimated at around 40 million euros, which could make a big signing like Kane possible. The English striker checks all the boxes: talent, leadership, and instant impact. If Barça can make the numbers work, Harry Kane could become the face of a new attacking era at Camp Nou.
