Barcelona Put Harry Kane on 2026 Shortlist With Release-Clause Deadline Looming

Reports say contacts with the striker’s camp precede a January notice deadline that would unlock a €65m exit.

Overview

  • Spanish and international outlets report Barcelona have identified Harry Kane as a leading option for the 2026–27 season and have spoken with his representatives.
  • Kane’s Bayern contract is widely reported to include a €65 million clause usable for a summer 2026 move only if he formally notifies the club by the end of January 2026.
  • Kane has publicly downplayed exit talk, stating he is fully committed to Bayern this season while remaining open to extension discussions.
  • Barcelona are planning for a possible succession at center forward with Robert Lewandowski out of contract in June 2026 and are also evaluating Julián Álvarez, Erling Haaland, Dušan Vlahović, Victor Osimhen and Karl Etta Eyong.
  • Any pursuit would face competition from Tottenham, Saudi Pro League sides and other European clubs, as Kane’s prolific form this season stands at 22 goals in 15 games.
