Harry Kane says he can see himself extending his contract with Bayern Munich rather than returning to the Premier League—admitting his desire to head back has dwindled during his time with the Bundesliga champions.
Kane swapped Tottenham Hotspur for Bayern in the summer of 2023 in a bid to end his long wait for silverware, justifying the move as he got his hands on the 2024–25 Bundesliga title. But many predicted he could, and would, return to England’s top flight in the future to try and break the division’s all-time scoring records.
Kane, named by as one of the top 50 Premier League players of all time, was just 47 goals behind Alan Shearer’s total of 260 when he left Spurs, and the inclusion of a release clause in his Bayern contract pointed to a desire to return to the Premier League before his career comes to a close.
Former employers Spurs have been touted as suitors, as have long-term admirers Manchester United, but Kane has cooled talk of a departure from Bayern.
“In terms of staying longer, I could definitely see that,” Kane said of his time with Bayern. “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.
