Barça circles Kane as Lewandowski wind-down looms: a bold hunt heats up
Barça eyes Kane as Lewandowski's contract winds down.

Kane on Barça radar as Lewandowski contract nears expiry

The Barcelona presidential candidate Xavier Vilahona confirms that his campaign team has already started talks with Kane's close circle.

Barcelona aims to refresh its attack with marquee signings, as Lewandowski's contract expires next summer.

Kane is 32, and his Bayern Munich deal runs through the summer of 2027.

Strategic talks and financial caution

Vilahona told Mundo Deportivo that he does not personally negotiate; his staff handles talks.

We have begun outreach to Kane's camp, and we must stay cautious and professional.

We are weighing several names, and Kane is one of them; he is a goalscorer who thrives in teamwork and tight spaces, a fit Barça needs.

On Julián Álvarez: he acknowledged he is a standout player, but warned against huge spending without careful planning, stressing the need to study the club's true financial position before any major move.

Punchline 1: If Kane signs, Barça won't just score goals—they'll file them under 'tax write-offs'.

Punchline 2: If the deal collapses, at least the press conference will have better lighting than a Messi era glam shot.
