But who will be the starting number 9 of FC Barcelona for the 20226-2027 season? Hansi Flick and Deco, the coach and sports director, are working hard on this. Robert Lewandowski, 37, said goodbye to Barça, while Ferran Torres, versatile and so useful last season, is still not considered the potential holder of this position. The favorite, everyone knows it, is Julian Alvarez. But the file is damn complicated, given the absolute resistance of Atlético de Madrid.
Everything except Barça, for colchoneros leaders who do not want to lose face. So, Barça is forced to look elsewhere, and the Daily Mail ensures that this elsewhere leads to the side of Bayern Munich. Yes, the Catalan club is eyeing Harry Kane, the 32-year-old English striker, at Bayern for 3 seasons now. Unmoveable, one might first think. Because the Bavarian club adores him and absolutely does not want to give him up. And because the player has already said it, he feels good in Bavaria.
A problem of extension
But the problem lies around the contractual situation. He has one year left on his contract, until 2027. Kane wants a 3-year extension, until 2030, while Bayern only offered two years… This little hiccup opens the door to possible courtiers. And in particular Barça, who proved with Robert Lewandowski that he was ready to trust scorers in their thirties. Obviously, this doesn’t make Kane financially affordable all at once.
Recruited for €100 million by Bayern in 2023 and with an annual salary of €25 million, he will be difficult to dislodge. According to the Daily Mailthe Catalan club has in any case made its interest known to its representatives, and is now giving the English international time for reflection, between now and the end of the 2026 World Cup. Already attacked on the Michael Olise file, Bayern will have to act on Harry Kane if they do not want to experience a bad surprise.
