Barcelona see Harry Kane as the ‘easiest option’ to replace Lewandowski
Barcelona are prioritizing the search for Robert Lewandowski’s successor, and Harry Kane has emerged as the leading candidate. According to Spanish outlet El Nacional, the Bayern Munich striker is viewed as the most viable and affordable option compared to other targets such as Erling Haaland and Julián Álvarez.
Experienced Replacement for Lewandowski
Kane, who will turn 33 in July 2026, continues to deliver consistent performances at the highest level. For Barça, his experience is considered crucial the club want a striker capable of taking immediate responsibility in attack, much like Lewandowski did upon his arrival in 2022.
Deal Considered Financially Viable
Despite ongoing financial challenges, Barcelona see the potential deal as realistic. Reports indicate Bayern Munich would be willing to negotiate Kane’s exit for around €50 million (R$316.5 million) a fee viewed as manageable by the Catalan board.
Impact on Young Barcelona Stars
Club executives, including Deco and president Joan Laporta, believe Kane’s presence would not only strengthen the attack but also accelerate the development of youngsters like Lamine Yamal and Pedri. His proven track record in top-level competitions is seen as a stabilizing factor for a squad in transition.
Internal Debate Over Age and Long-Term Plans
Still, there are discussions behind the scenes. Some executives argue the club should target a younger profile such as Haaland, who would represent a long-term investment despite his higher price tag.
For now, the consensus is clear: Harry Kane stands out as the most practical and achievable solution. Barcelona will monitor the coming months closely, keeping the England captain at the top of their transfer priorities.
