"Rumors around Harry Kane and Barcelona have been drifting through the season, but they picked up real momentum once reports in England suggested the Bayern Munich striker might fit into Barça's long-term plans. Conversations about a possible move gained even more traction because the profile feels familiar. Barcelona once brought in Robert Lewandowski from the same club at an age that many considered past the typical peak for a new number nine."
"This time, the comparison is inverted. Kane, 32, is already well past one hundred goals with Bayern and has started the current campaign producing at a blistering pace. The idea of signing him for the summer of 2026 would normally be seen as risky, but Lewandowski's consistency since arriving in 2022 has altered the way many evaluate veteran strikers. The Pole has registered 108 goals in his three-plus seasons and just reminded everyone of his sharpness with a hat trick against Celta in Balaídos."
Rumors link Harry Kane and Barcelona during the season, gaining momentum after English reports suggested the Bayern Munich striker could fit Barcelona's long-term plans. The comparison to Robert Lewandowski is central because Barcelona previously signed Lewandowski at 33 and he delivered 108 goals across three-plus seasons, reshaping expectations. Kane, 32, has already scored over one hundred goals for Bayern and started the current campaign at a blistering pace. Lewandowski's contract runs until June 2026 and he has hinted at clarifying his future. Barcelona could consider activating Kane's €65m release clause if finances improve, while Julián Álvarez remains a preferred target. The club has a recent history of extracting value from older forwards, including pandemic-era low-cost or short-term signings such as Luuk de Jong on loan.
