Harry Kane has no intention of moving to Tottenham and Manchester United.
Germany's Sport Bild said on the 10th (Korea time) that the transfer clause included in Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane's contract must be invoked by January 31 for a summer transfer. Since then, the club has not officially mentioned it, but Bayern Honorary President Uli Houness, who attended the event in Munich, confirmed the clause. Under the clause, Kane can transfer for about 65 million euros (about 111.4 billion won) in the summer after the 2026 World Cup. As a result, rumors of Kane's transfer are heating up even more, according to the report.
The fact that there is a buyout clause is interpreted as a story that Kane also planned to return to England after playing briefly for Bayern. Kane is performing better in Bayern, so it would have been a huge topic if he returned to the Premier League (EPL). Tottenham had priority negotiating rights with the terms of Kane's contract, and Manchester United have always been interested in Kane.
However, Kane has no plans to invoke the clause. The media said 'Our information indicates that Kane has no plans to use the clause in the transfer window this winter, but rather is considering negotiating a contract renewal with Bayern after the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Kane appears to even consider retiring from Bayern. Sport Bild said 'Kane's current contract is due at the end of June 2027, and both Bayern and Kane remain open to a possible one-year extension. Bayern executives also explained that they plan to start negotiations with Kane after the transfer clause expires. If Kane, who was born in 1993, plays for Bayern until the summer of 2028, he will play until the age of 35. At that time, we have to wait and see how Kane's performance is, but we can't say there's no possibility of retiring from Bayern.
Rumors have spread that Kane could return to the EPL, but Kane seems to want to hold more trophies at Bayern. The media continues to say that in England, Kane wants to return to the EPL and break the all-time scoring record. The current record is 260 goals for Alan Shearer, with 213 goals for Kane. However, according to the information, Kane is prioritising winning more titles at Bayern than his EPL scoring record.
Sport Bild's information is that Barcelona, which recently came out, is aiming for Kane as a substitute for Roberto Lewandowski, which is close to false rumors. Within Barca, Kane's name was mentioned positively only once, but no actual transfer discussion took place at all. In addition, Lewandowski's future course has not even been confirmed, he added.
Kane is expected to confirm his future once he focuses as much on Bayern and the World Cup as he can. Kane's stay will be very likely if he does not tell the club that he will trigger a buyout before January 31. If so, it may be hard to see Kane playing in the EPL again.
