Bayern Munich plan to offer Harry Kane a long-term deal to stop Barcelona from pursuing the striker next summer. The 32-year-old, with 22 goals and 3 assists in 16 matches this season, has 18 months left on his contract. Barcelona, seeking Robert Lewandowski’s replacement, face financial hurdles over Kane’s €65m release clause.
When the reports of Barcelona’s growing interest in Harry Kane surfaced, Bayern Munich quickly decided to take firm action to secure their star striker’s future. The German champions are determined to block any potential move next summer, with Kane seen as a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski when he left for Barcelona in 2022 for €45 million.
Now 32 and turning 33 next summer, Kane will have just one year remaining on his Bayern contract by then, sparking speculation about his next step. According to TalkSport, Bayern are ready to make an exception to their usual policy of giving only one-year extensions to players over 30. They are reportedly preparing a lucrative long-term offer to convince Kane to stay. The England captain has been in phenomenal form this season, scoring 22 goals and providing 3 assists in just 16 appearances, which has made him indispensable for the Bavarian club.
Meanwhile, Barcelona are exploring replacements for Lewandowski, whose contract expires next summer. However, with financial limitations and Kane’s €65 million release clause, a deal seems unrealistic for now. The Catalan club has also shortlisted Levante’s Karl Etta Eyong and Borussia Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy as more affordable alternatives at the number nine position.
