Barcelona is said to have contacted Harry Kane's agent in the context that the Catalan team is considering making a blockbuster deal to recruit the England captain.
The 32-year-old striker only has one year left on his contract with Bayern Munich after three successful seasons playing in Germany. The English striker and his family have settled down in Bavaria and the two sides had informal discussions about extending their contract last season. However, his long-term future has not yet been decided.
According to British media, this is what prompted Barcelona to actively contact Kane's representative to find out the possibility of transfer. After initial exchanges, Barcelona is expected to re-evaluate the situation after Kane finishes his journey with the England national team at the 2026 World Cup.
Kane is in impressive form when scoring 3 goals after the group stage, contributing to England defeating Panama 2-0 to win the top spot in Group L. The "Three Lions" will face DRC Congo in the round of 32 before thinking about the next opponents.
However, according to sources in England, Kane's side quickly closed the exchanges with Barcelona through a phone call. The goal of the striker born in 1993 after the World Cup is still to reach an agreement to extend his contract with Bayern Munich.
The German team is also determined to keep their main striker after a season of explosion with 61 goals in 51 matches in all competitions.
Barcelona is looking for a new center forward after Robert Lewandowski decided to leave Camp Nou. Coach Hansi Flick's team once pursued Julian Alvarez, but Atletico Madrid did not want to sell the Argentine star to a direct competitor in La Liga.
Kane himself has repeatedly affirmed that he is satisfied with his life in Munich. The English striker also did not activate the clause allowing him to leave Bayern for a fee of about £56 million in this summer transfer window.
In April, Bayern Munich board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge confirmed that official contract extension negotiations with Kane would be conducted after the season ends.
Bringing Harry Kane to Munich is one of the most successful deals in club history. We all know he has a release clause, but as agreed, the negotiations will take place after the season" - Rummenigge shared.
With Kane prioritizing continuing to stick with Bayern and the German team also considering him an irreplaceable factor, the possibility of Barcelona successfully recruiting the England captain in this summer transfer window is currently not highly appreciated.
In the immediate future, Harry Kane will still focus entirely on the journey of the England team at the 2026 World Cup. Negotiations about the future are likely to only resume after the tournament ends. With rising form and the role of leader of the "Three Lions", Kane is still one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe.
