For months, it has been speculated that Harry Kane is toying with the idea of moving back to England.
However, it might be more than just toying at this point.
During an appearance on talkSport, Raphael Honigstein said that it was no secret within Bayern Munich that Kane wants to finish his career at home (as captured by The Express):
Tottenham Hotspur have been given a glimmer of hope in their pursuit of former star and current Bayern Munich striker, Harry Kane. Kane, who rose through the ranks at
Spurs to become the club’s all-time leading goalscorer, left the north London side in search of silverware.
Rumours are swirling that Bayern may be open to selling Kane back to a Premier League side next summer, with his contract set to expire in 2027. Such a move could see Kane challenge Alan Shearer’s record as the Premier League’s all-time top scorer and potentially don the Spurs shirt once more. German football expert Raphael Honigstein recently told talkSPORT that it’s no secret within Bayern that Kane harbours ambitions to finish his career back on English soil.
He further stated that it currently seems improbable that the 32-year-old will extend his contract beyond 2027, and the club is already planning for the future.
Bayern boss Vincent Kompany secured the signing of Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson in the summer transfer window. Honigstein was quick to clarify though, that there are no current plans for Jackson to permanently replace Kane, and he was brought in as a backup to the English striker. Whether he is viewed as a long-term solution once Kane departs remains uncertain.
The big question is whether or not Kane will leave after this season or see out his contract and stay through 2026/27. From a squad planning standpoint, Bayern Munich had better get moving after already seeing so many strikers it was rumored to be interested in move on in the past two seasons.
