Barcelona are reportedly looking to recruit a new striker next summer given that Robert Lewandowski’s contract expires at the end of this season.
Harry Kane is one of the many players they have been linked to. This might be a replay of the deal they made for his potential replacement in 2022.
Barcelona’s decision to sign Lewandowski has proven to be very successful. Instead of signing a younger player who might be the team’s starting striker for many years to come, they might decide to bring in another well-known name, and Kane would be the perfect addition in this regard.
Barca are aware of the exact amount they would have to spend to sign Kane because his contract with Bayern Munich includes a €65 million release clause.

Sport claims that the England international is aware of Catalonia’s interest, but he won’t decide on his future until the end of the current campaign.
It’s possible that Barcelona have already moved on by the time Kane makes a decision.
Kane Salary Could Be A Stumbling Block
According to the report, he is requesting a substantial salary, probably comparable to the €25 million (gross) he presently earns at Bayern. The Catalans will find it difficult to meet this amount given their well-known financial difficulties.
Given that Kane is among the top number nines in the world of football, there is little question that he would be the best striker addition Barcelona could make next summer.
Financially speaking, though, it might not make sense if his wage demands remain the same when the transfer window opens in the summer.
