Barcelona Shoot for the Stars With ‘First Choice’ Robert Lewandowski Replacement

Barcelona plans to activate Harry Kane's €65 million release clause to replace Robert Lewandowski after his 2026 contract ends due to age and reduced playing time.

  • FC Barcelona have identified Bayern Munich forward Harry Kane as their first-choice target to replace Robert Lewandowski when his contract expires in 2026, and reports say Barcelona will let Lewandowski's deal run to its conclusion.
  • Lewandowski's reduced involvement has dropped from 42 goals last term to seven this season, as injury and Hansi Flick, Bayern Munich coach, favor Ferran Torres, Bayern forward, limiting him to five starts.
  • Statistics underline why Barca admire: Kane's 108 goals in 113 games for Bayern, underscoring his prolific scoring rate.
  • Reports say Barcelona may trigger Kane's 65 million release clause, which reportedly requires him to notify Bayern this winter to leave next summer, but acceptance is unclear.
  • Spanish media suggest Harry Kane is considering a move to Catalonia, but he told reporters last month `I'm very happy here in Munich`, dismissing exit talk.
