Contradictory reports emerge on potential Harry Kane return to Tottenham Hotspur
Journalist Pete O’Rourke has talked up the chances of Harry Kane returning to Tottenham Hotspur in the future, while an update from Germany has shed light on the chances of the centre-forward leaving Bayern Munich this summer.
Kane reminded Tottenham Hotspur fans just what they have been missing over the last two years, with the striker scoring a brilliant goal to open the scoring for Bayern in their 4-0 demolition of the Lilywhites on Thursday.
It has been widely reported that Kane’s contract at Bayern has a release clause which will continue to drop with each transfer window.
The Telegraph suggested last week that the England captain could return to the Premier League next summer after the 2026 World Cup.
Tottenham backed to contest for Harry Kane’s signature
It is no secret that Tottenham added a first refusal clause when they sold Kane to Bayern, which potentially gives the Lilywhites an advantage over other suitors should the striker decide to leave Bavaria.
Journalist Pete O’Rourke believes that Daniel Levy could try to bring the Spurs legend back to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, given how popular the move would be among the club’s supporters.
When asked about Kane’s future, O’Rourke told Football Insider: “Obviously, if a player like Harry Kane is willing to come back to the Premier League, there will be clubs very much interested. The big question is which English club will be looking to bring him back to the Premier League?
“Obviously, he’s the second-highest goalscorer in the Premier League behind Alan Shearer, so that might be in his mind to come back and break that record. He’s got a release clause which decreases the closer it gets to the end of his Bayern Munich contract.
“So he could be available from January for around £56million, which would be a bargain for Kane. The only negative is his age, he’s 32 now and will be 33 next season. Will any of the elite clubs be willing to go out and sign him?
“If Harry Kane does become available next summer, clubs will be interested. Tottenham have first refusal on the deal, so could bring Kane back. It’s part of the contract, Daniel Levy admitted it after Harry made the move to Bayern Munich.
“Basically, they can match any other club’s bid for Harry Kane, so if they’re willing to bring him back, they can do a deal, and it would be a popular one among their fans. Any move is a way away, there will be more talk about this from January onwards into next summer, but for now his focus is on Bayern Munich.”
Kane will not leave Bayern Munich this summer
Irrespective of what the future holds for Kane, the one thing all outlets seem to agree on is that the 32-year-old is not going anywhere this summer.
This has also been confirmed by Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg, who claims to have spoken to sources close to the former Tottenham striker.
They allegedly informed Plettenberg: “Harry isn’t going anywhere — He will play for FC Bayern in the upcoming season.”
