I think the best option for us will be Kane.

1 year left in contract, will be 33 when next season starts.
Guy is still banging goals, maybe not Lewa level but 91 Goald in 100matches for Bayern is pretty good. 40 goals in 57 UCL matches.
11 goals in 13 UCL matches for Bayern.

45-50m should be good enough for Bayern. Could be even less. Similar price we paid for Lewa. So I think its doable.

Profile matches everything we need. Tall, good with the ball, and known goalscorer. He is an upgrade over Lewa at this current moment.

Having said that, if we go for him, we should be ready to bid high for a proven ST in the next two years. Maybe Halaand finally wants to leave, or Isak or someone else. But for me, looking at our finances, and the market oportunity. Harry Kane makes the most logical sense.
Problem is, that means Bayern need to replace him. With who? Think they are better off keeping him, which is why the price will be high.

Kane is another old striker that would pay a fortune for on big wages and get nothing back for.

Cant keep doing that.

Too much money is waste on players Barca get nothing back for or cant extend to loosen FFP.

Paid what? 150m for x4 years of Lewa?

Thats enough for a younger striker for 100m or so who could be sold or extended to loosen FFP.

Kane would score goals but also be another CF who cant run in behind and restricts how Barca can line up tactically.

Far too early for such a vote. Nobody knows who will shine this season. We won't have much money next summer as well, so we need to find a player with big potential who flies under the radar.
Also La-Masia needs to start focusing more on strikers. Can't be that a Guiu is the best striker La-Masia brought out in the last years. Or change the system and play without or with a false 9. Don't need Messi for that. PSG showed it last season as well.

Cant predict the market, but if there is a striker, I think Bayern financially is well equiped to go for one. Knowing Kane's contract is over in year, they can be enticed to sell him and use the funds for a new ST.

But yes I agree with you, at this moment I see no striker available next season, or of the caliber of Kane. So probably he stays.

Isak was never an option, idea of Barca affording him is pure fantasy

We will have to work something out this season or look for emerging strikers around Europe

Trouble is even emerging strikers now are going to mid level EPL teams for 70-80m.

They are chased as soon as show anything.

Need to get tapping up like Real Madrid from years out but players probably wouldnt believe a word the Barca board tell them anyway or wait.

Bro kane?

He is too old dude, need a young beast who can play several years on top level. Imo Harry has already declined compared to 2-3 years ago and it will continue...

Now seems Bayern will loan Jackson with obligation to buy for 70m

They might be planning for Kane exit. Seems like he has a release clause of around 60m in January 2026.

The club should keep a very close eye on Richard Kone (22) from QPR, this guy will sell for at least 20-30 million on his next move if not more.

Seems it is not an obligation to buy unless some fairly difficult targets are met.
