Barcelona contacts Harry Kane: Ambitious to activate a blockbuster signing to replace Lewandowski.
Barcelona have begun negotiations with Harry Kane's agents to bring the striker to Camp Nou after the 2026 World Cup. Although Kane is happy at Bayern Munich, Barca are still willing to go all out for this transfer.
With the 2026 World Cup entering its dramatic stages, Barcelona has created a shock in the transfer market by proactively contacting Harry Kane's representatives. The Catalan club is desperately searching for a world-class striker to fill the void left by Robert Lewandowski, and the England captain is their number one target.
A surprising close-range finish at the World Cup.
According to Daily Mail Sport, Barcelona's management has taken the first steps to explore the possibility of bringing Harry Kane to Camp Nou. This move comes as the 32-year-old striker has only one year left on his contract with Bayern Munich, creating a promising transfer scenario this summer.
Following initial discussions, both sides agreed to postpone any further in-depth negotiations until Kane's journey with England at the 2026 World Cup concludes. Currently, Barcelona is actively exploring feasible financial options to realize this ambitious deal, despite the budgetary challenges the club is facing.
Harry Kane's loyalty to Bavaria
Despite Barcelona's strong determination, their chances of securing Kane's signature remain highly uncertain. The English striker is currently very happy at Bayern Munich. As for the Bundesliga champions, they have absolutely no intention of letting their star striker leave in the near future.
Notably, immediately after the exploratory call from Spain, Kane's representatives reportedly quickly closed the deal. The striker's top priority after leaving the US and Mexico is to sit down with Bayern's management to negotiate a long-term contract extension, rather than seeking a new club.
Lewandowski's explosive form and the question of replacing him.
The reason Barcelona are willing to take the risk of pursuing Kane lies in his incredible goal-scoring record. Last season, Kane set an unprecedented milestone with 61 goals in 51 matches for Bayern Munich. In the group stage of the 2026 World Cup, he continued his killer instinct with 3 goals, playing a major role in helping England advance to the knockout round.
Currently, Kane is focusing all his attention on the Round of 16 match between England and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The match is scheduled to take place in Atlanta at 11 PM on July 1st (Hanoi time). As for Barcelona, they are prepared to wait patiently. The Camp Nou team has affirmed that they will give their all if they receive any positive signals from the English striker, as finding a replacement for Lewandowski is a crucial task for their ambitions to compete for the title next season.
