Barcelona are reportedly planning significant changes ahead of the summer transfer window, with their main priority being the recruitment of a high-level striker to succeed Robert Lewandowski, whose contract at Camp Nou is nearing its end.
Although several strikers have recently been linked with a move to Catalonia, Bayern Munich forward Harry Kane has emerged as the leading candidate, having previously competed alongside Robert Lewandowski during the Pole’s Bundesliga career, Eko Hot Blog reports.

Since joining Bayern in 2023, the England captain has delivered outstanding numbers, scoring 126 goals in 131 appearances, including 41 this season alone. His consistency at the highest level has reinforced his reputation as one of the world’s most reliable goal scorers.
Under the current leadership of club president Joan Laporta, a move for Kane had been viewed as financially unrealistic. But with presidential elections scheduled for March, the situation could shift. Candidate Xavier Vilajoana has publicly stated that signing Kane would be a priority if he wins the vote.
Vilajoana has argued that while nurturing La Masia talent remains essential, Barcelona must also be capable of attracting elite players. He has suggested that restoring financial stability and returning to La Liga’s 1:1 spending rule would make such a high-profile transfer achievable.
According to reports, Bayern could consider offers in the region of £57 million (€65 million), a fee seen as relatively reasonable for a striker of Kane’s pedigree.
Replacing Lewandowski with a younger, less proven forward would carry considerable risk. Kane, by contrast, offers immediate impact and proven productivity in front of the goal.
However, much will depend on the outcome of the elections. If Vilajoana fails in his bid, interest in Kane may quickly cool. Even if Barcelona pursues negotiations, persuading the player could prove challenging.
Kane is understood to be content in Munich and has given no indication that he is seeking a move away from Bayern.
