Harry Kane hoping for a longer stay at Bayern Munich following the end of his contract in the summer of 2027.
Harry Kane open to Bayern Munich stay and unsure of Premier League return.
Harry Kane believes a return to the Premier League is no longer assured and says he is open to staying at Bayern Munich.
The England captain’s contract expires in 2027, and there has been conjecture regarding his future due to reports that he has a £56.7 million release clause that could be activated at the end of this season. Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has stated that Kane would be welcome to return if he so desired.
Even though returning to England would give Kane the chance to score the 48 goals he needs to break the Premier League scoring record, that is still a long way off. In the two years after leaving Spurs for Bayern, the 32-year-old’s opinions on playing in English football have changed, and he is eager for more success after winning the Bundesliga last season to break his trophy drought.
“In terms of staying longer I could definitely see that,” Kane said. “I have not had those conversations with Bayern yet but if they were to arise I would be willing to talk and have an honest conversation. Obviously it depends on how the next year or so goes, what we achieve together. We are in a fantastic moment and I am not thinking about anything else.
“In terms of the Premier League, I don’t know. If you had asked me when I first left to go to Bayern, I would have said for sure I would come back. Now I have been there a couple of years I would probably say that has gone down a little bit, but I wouldn’t say I would never go back.
“I am fully all in with Bayern. If there was a conversation about extending then we will see, but I have still got this season and another season. It is not like I am in my last year, it is not like there is any panic. I am calm, I love the manager at Bayern and as long we are improving and I am improving then I am happy to see what we can achieve.”
Kane has scored 19 goals for both club and country so far this season, which is an incredible start. However, he is aware that winning the World Cup with England or the Champions League with Bayern next summer will be necessary to be named the greatest player in the world.
“I would love to win the Ballon d’Or,” Kane said. “Essentially it is a team trophy that the best individual from that team wins, so it is going to be a Champions League winner or a World Cup winner … It would be an accumulation of doing something great individually and as a team. It would be almost the perfect season.”
