German champion Bayern Munich is in a predicament regarding the situation involving its Polish striker Robert Lewandowski. He informed the club that he wants to move out of the Allianz Arena. He is heavily interested in joining Spanish giants Barcelona, despite having a year left in his contract. While negotiations are underway between the two clubs, the Bavarians are also doing to part to find an ideal replacement for him. Meanwhile, as per reports, English striker Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur is one of the lads on the radar of the German champion.

As per Kicker, Kane's contract gets over in 2024, meaning the Englishman would attract a huge transfer fee. However, he seems to be the perfect replacement for Lewandowski, as he fits the plans of Bayern. Also, it is reported that Bayern is likely to accept a better offer from Barcelona by Tuesday, having previously turned down some unconvincing offers from the Spanish giants.

Although Lewandowski is reported to be returning to pre-season training with Bayern this week, it looks set that the Bavarians are all set to lose him out to Barcelona in the next few days. In the meantime, it has also signed Senegalese striker Sadio Mane from Liverpool as one of the potential replacements for the Pole, while Kane could be next in the line.

Kane has been linked to numerous clubs in almost every transfer window since 2013 but has stayed at Tottenham. He made his senior debut for his only club so far in 2009. He rose to prominence during the 2012-13 season and has since been on the radar of various clubs. He has hammered 264 club goals in 451 matches across competitions, besides leading England, but has unfortunately never won a title to date.
