Overview
- The Guardian reports Barcelona have made Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane their first-choice replacement and could trigger his £57m release clause next summer.
- Local reporting indicates the club is unlikely to extend the 37-year-old’s deal as sporting chiefs prioritize a younger long-term No. 9.
- Lewandowski has said he will decide at season’s end, prefers to remain in Barcelona, and would accept a reduced or mentoring role rather than move to Saudi Arabia.
- Agent Pini Zahavi told WinWinAllSports via Mundo Deportivo that retirement talk is “not true” and that there is no update on a contract extension.
- AC Milan and Atletico Madrid have been linked, with Italian reports of Milan meetings and internal backing from Zlatan Ibrahimovic for a potential move.
