Barcelona Eye Harry Kane as Lewandowski Successor in 2026

Reports from Spain suggest Barcelona are considering Harry Kane as Robert Lewandowski’s long-term replacement in 2026. Kane has netted 91 goals and 28 assists in 100 Bayern Munich games and is reportedly open to a move. With Lewandowski turning 37, Barca and Manchester United are both monitoring the England captain’s release clause situation.

As the football world looks ahead to 2026, reports suggest that Harry Kane could be lined up as Robert Lewandowski’s successor at Barcelona. According to Spanish outlet El Nacional, the Bayern Munich striker is open to a new experience once his release clause drops, putting the Catalan giants in contention alongside Manchester United. Kane has been prolific in Germany, netting 91 goals and providing 28 assists in just 100 appearances for Bayern, underlining his status as one of Europe’s most reliable forwards.

Barcelona see him as the perfect replacement for Lewandowski, who recently turned 37 and is expected to leave at the end of the 2025-26 season, possibly heading to Major League Soccer or Saudi Arabia. While Lewandowski does have an extension option, the club is preparing for the future with Kane as their primary target.

For Kane, the decision will depend on Bayern’s stance and his desire to either return to the Premier League, where he is the second-highest scorer in history with 213 goals, or pursue a new adventure in Spain. Manchester United are also monitoring the situation closely as it weighs up a move to bring the England captain back to England.
