Barcelona’s plans for a future without Robert Lewandowski could lead them straight to Harry Kane in what would be a blockbuster transfer for both the club and La Liga.
The 37-year-old Pole is edging toward the end of his current deal with the defending Spanish champions. Lewandowski’s contract expires this summer, and the club is thought to be uninterested in offering him an extension, given his age and recent injury history.
The striker has started just five games this season for Barcelona, often seeing his place in Hansi Flick’s XI taken by Ferran Torres. Yet the latter is not viewed as the long-term successor to Lewandowski.
Instead, the Catalans are turning to the transfer market, where they have landed their sights on Kane, who is under contract with Bayern Munich through 2027. Recent reports claim Barcelona labeled the England captain as their “first-choice target” and could be willing to trigger his release clause worth a reported €65 million (£57.2 million, $75.3 million).
Plenty of obstacles would stand in the way of the dream transfer, mainly Barcelona’s financial woes and Kane’s desire—or lack thereof—to leave Bayern Munich.
But should the blockbuster move come to fruition, how would Kane fit in with the Spanish giants? Here’s how Barcelona could line up with the superstar striker next season.
