Barcelona is actively shaping its squad reinforcement strategy for the summer transfer window and is increasingly considering the signing of a new striker. Robert Lewandowski's contract expires in 2026, and the club is in need of a long-term successor.
Details: According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona's interest in Bayern Munich forward Harry Kane has grown significantly in recent weeks. Kane is available for a set release clause—around €65 million—and the Catalans are weighing the possibility of meeting that price.
Barcelona believe Kane can deliver instant impact and serve as the perfect short-term solution thanks to his experience, clinical finishing, and consistency. However, the club has yet to make a final decision: serious transfer talks are expected to kick off around the turn of the year.
Nevertheless, the financial department has already noted that to pull off such a high-profile transfer, the club would likely need to part ways with Lewandowski, whose wage bill amounts to around €40 million. Beyond the striker position, the Catalans are also exploring options to bolster the left side of their defense—specifically, the possibility of bringing in Alejandro Grimaldo.
This season, the English forward boasts phenomenal numbers: in eighteen appearances for the Munich side across all competitions, he has scored twenty-three goals and provided three assists.
Reminder: Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick confirmed that Lamine Yamal is ready for the next match against Athletic Bilbao.
