Barcelona are setting their sights on Harry Kane as the club prepares for life after Robert Lewandowski — www.isagoal.com reports.
Sources in Spain reveal that sporting director Deco has begun shaping an ambitious plan to lure the England captain away from Bayern Munich.
Lewandowski, now 37 and in the twilight of his contract, is expected to move on by 2026, leaving a massive gap in Barcelona’s frontline.
Since his move to Bayern in 2023, Kane has delivered relentlessly, closing in on a century of goals across Bundesliga and Champions League competition.
Barcelona view him as the perfect short-term leader, with his sharp finishing and experience balancing both performance and longevity.
Coach Hansi Flick is said to be pushing strongly for Kane, convinced that his attacking system would maximize the striker’s qualities.
“Harry has everything needed to lead from the front,” Flick reportedly believes, seeing him as the focal point for Barcelona’s evolving attack.
Yet Kane is not the only Bayern star under consideration, with centre-back Dayot Upamecano also on Deco’s shortlist.
The French defender’s contract runs until 2026, and his future could open the door for either a discounted deal or eventual free transfer.
Flick has stressed the urgent need for defensive depth, and Upamecano’s strength and European pedigree fit exactly what Barcelona require.
Bringing in both Kane and Upamecano would solve two long-term problems: a proven striker and a commanding presence in defense.
Club president Joan Laporta understands Bayern are tough negotiators, but Barcelona believe shifting circumstances could create their opening.
For the Catalan giants, it’s more than just ambition — it’s a calculated push to rebuild with both power and pragmatism.
