Barcelona are eyeing Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane as a cut-price replacement for Robert Lewandowski in 2026. With Deco pushing the move, reports in Spain suggest the Blaugrana could land the England captain for just €40-50m — a bargain fee for one of Europe’s most consistent goalscorers.
Barcelona are weighing up a sensational transfer move for Harry Kane in the summer of 2026, with reports in Spain suggesting the Bayern Munich striker could be available for as little as €40 million (£35m). Sporting director Deco reportedly views the England captain as the “ideal option” to step in for Robert Lewandowski, whose contract expires that same year.
Lewandowski’s deal at Camp Nou ends in June 2026, and the Catalan giants are already preparing for life after the Polish star. Kane, who will turn 33 that summer, is seen as the perfect replacement thanks to his proven pedigree at the highest level. According to El Nacional, Bayern Munich are expected to reduce their demands to around €40-50m (£35-43m/$47-59m), a price Barcelona believe is realistic despite their financial challenges.
The potential swoop mirrors the strategy Barcelona used when they signed Lewandowski from Bayern in 2022 — landing a world-class forward at a cut-price fee. Kane’s market value is projected to dip as he enters his mid-30s, while his contract at the Allianz Arena runs until 2027, putting Bayern in a position where they may need to sell.
Kane has continued his prolific form in Germany, strengthening his reputation as one of Europe’s elite strikers. For Barcelona, his leadership, experience, and finishing ability would provide an immediate impact in an attack that is being reshaped around young talents such as Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.
While Premier League sides are also expected to monitor Kane’s situation, Barcelona are hopeful that their sporting project and the chance to play at Camp Nou will tempt him to Spain. Over the next 18 months, the Blaugrana will keep a close eye on the striker’s future, with the summer of 2026 shaping up as a decisive moment in their pursuit.
