Barcelona are actively searching for a summer striker who could potentially replace Robert Lewandowski's influence and role in the team. The veteran is 37 years old, and his future in the Catalan capital remains uncertain, prompting the club to explore alternatives.
Among the players linked with a move to Barcelona are Julián Álvarez and Dušan Vlahović, with the latter's name gaining traction in recent days. Nonetheless, one of the club's prime targets remains Harry Kane.
Bayern view Kane as an ideal fit in terms of profile and the role needed to succeed Lewandowski, and the German club made an initial approach to his camp. That approach was rebuffed quickly, however, as Kane's representatives prioritized a contract renewal in Germany.
Bayern's sporting director Max Eberl spoke to the media about the renewal situation. He declined to expand on circulating rumours about approaches from other clubs and said that the club is in close contact with Harry concerning his relationship with the team and their collective ambitions.
Eberl clarified that formal negotiations over a new deal have not yet started; the parties are holding talks about the next steps but have not begun official negotiations. He also conveyed the club's confidence that they will secure an extension, citing factors beyond purely sporting considerations.
According to the sporting director, the player is comfortable in Munich and his family have adapted, so Bayern are not rushing the process and feel confident about reaching an agreement.
