Barcelona have been offered €35 million to part ways with Robert Lewandowski at the turn of the year, according to Fichajes. The Polish striker has been indispensable for the Catalans in recent times.

Lewandowski scored 42 times in 52 appearances for the LaLiga champions last season, helping them secure a domestic treble. However, the 37-year-old's contract expires at the end of this campaign, and he hasn't been offered a new deal yet.

Recent reports have suggested that Barcelona are not planning to hand the veteran striker a new deal. Despite being on the wrong side of 30, Lewandowski continues to be decisive for the Spanish giants.

The Pole has registered four goals in nine appearances across competitions this season, so the Catalans are wary of letting him go in the middle of the campaign. However, they have received an offer from Saudi Arabia, which has forced them to consider their options.

Barcelona are enticed by the opportunity to secure a considerable fee for a player who is set to become a free agent in just over six months. Moreover, Lewandowski's departure will also free up the wage bill, given that the player is one of the highest earners at the club.

With the Catalans struggling with financial difficulties, the chance to raise funds at the Pole's expense could be too tempting to turn down. However, with the club already suffering due to injuries of late, Lewandowski's potential departure could also derail their season.

Harry Kane is ready to join Barcelona in 2026, according to SPORT. The English striker has been on fire since moving to Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2023.

Kane has already scored 107 times in 111 appearances for the Bavarians to date. This season, the 32-year-old has plundered 22 goals from 15 games, helping his team register a 100% win record across competitions.

Having conquered the Bundesliga, the Englishman is reportedly eyeing a new challenge ahead of the summer of 2026. Kane's contract at the Allianz Arena expires in 2027, and his €65 million release clause will reportedly be active next summer.

Barcelona have already established contact with the player's camp ahead of a possible move at the end of the season. The Englishman could be a fine replacement for Lewandowski at Camp Nou, but is also wanted in the Premier League and Saudi Arabia.
