According to reports, England skipper Harry Kane has emerged as the leading candidate to succeed Robert Lewandowski. Kane has been in prolific form since joining Bayern Munich, scoring 109 goals in just 115 appearances across all competitions. Kane also finally lifted his first major trophy in May, helping Bayern win back the Bundesliga title. <\/p><p>The Catalan giants see Kane as a natural replacement for Lewandowski, who will be 37 when his contract expires in June 2026. Sources in Spain suggest Barca are ready to activate the &euro;65m release clause in Kane&rsquo;s Bayern Munich deal. For a Barcelona side still restricted by financial pressures, the chance to sign one of Europe&rsquo;s most reliable forwards at such a price is viewed as a rare opportunity. Barca sporting director Deco is understood to be pushing the move. Deco described Kane as the &ldquo;ideal option&rdquo; to lead the next phase of the club&rsquo;s attack.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Erling Haaland, Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe for club and country so far this season:<br><br>Erling Haaland:<br>&#127967; 22 games<br>&#9917;&#65039; 32 goals<br><br>Harry Kane:<br>&#127967; 24 games<br>&#9917;&#65039; 29 goals<br><br>Kylian Mbappe:<br>&#127967; 23 games<br>&#9917;&#65039; 27 goals<br><br>All on fire &#128293; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sRLEqMvy6T\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/sRLEqMvy6T<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/footballontnt\/status\/1994496759188668908?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>November 28, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/atletico-madrid-make-move-for-crystal-palace-captain-marc-guehi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Atletico Madrid Make Move for Crystal Palace Captain Marc Guehi<\/a><\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Barcelona Plan To Sign Harry Kane in 2026<\/h2><p>According to reports, the Blaugrana want to repeat the formula they used to sign Robert Lewandowski in 2022.

Kane&rsquo;s potential availability at &euro;65m is seen as a rare chance to bring in world-class quality without overspending.
