Bayern Munich superstar striker Harry Kane is having another season for the ages, and it truly feels like, especially in terms of all around play, the 32 year old No. 9 has never been better. Tottenham Hotspur supporters have been continuing to dream of a potential reunion with Kane in 2026 if Thomas Frank and the club can just coax him to run it back with an improved squad around him.
Everything Kane has said and everything reported in the transfer rumor mill seems to indicate that any links between Tottenham and Kane are nothing more than fool's gold and false hope. Kane has no interest in leaving Bayern at this time, especially not for a club like Tottenham that isn't competing for league or Champions League titles; he's graduated above the Europa League, at this point, and so have Spurs, to be brutally honest.
And Tottenham aren't the only club after Kane, as Barcelona have become increasingly attuned to the sliver of availability for the superstar striker. Per a report from The Guardian's Will Unwin, the Blaugrana have their own pipe dreams of locking in Kane as their new striker, as they are ready to replace the aging Robert Lewandowski and now view Kane as their ideal successor.
Tottenham would not be favored
Lewa left Bayern for Barcelona to chase a Ballon d'Or, and while he failed in that regard, he became a legend at another historic club and won two La Liga titles en route. Now, Lewandowski is still very, very good, but Barcelona want to go with someone younger.
And since Erling Haaland isn't on the table and Etta Eyong may not be ready to be "the guy" for Barca, Kane could be a compromise as a superstar striker who is a few years younger than Lewandowski and can bridge the gap until someone like Eyong is ready for prime time.
Barca's interest is a huge blow for Tottenham, because if given the choice, it's honestly hard to justify why Kane would pick Spurs over the Blaugrana, other than nostalgia. And all bias aside, it is never a good idea to pick nostalgia, especially when it's quite evident that Tottenham are nowhere near Barcelona in terms of attacking quality.
Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and even Ferran Torres and Marcus Rashford lap all of the forwards Tottenham have in their squad at this point. So if Kane were to even contemplate leaving Bayern, it would make no sense to pick Spurs over Barcelona.
