• Hansi Flick is portrayed as an admirer of Kane, with coverage suggesting the striker would suit Barcelona’s system and provide short‑term leadership.
• Upamecano’s contract reportedly runs to 2026, which is cited as a potential opening for Barcelona to pursue a centre‑back reinforcement.
• Multiple reports flag significant hurdles, including Bayern’s stance on keeping key players and Barcelona’s well‑documented budget pressures that complicate any double deal.
• Contract details around Kane remain disputed across reports, with claims of a 2027 Bayern expiry, suggestions of a possible release clause next summer, Tottenham’s reported first‑refusal, and parallel interest from Manchester United.
