Bayern Munich director of sport Max Eberl has made some interesting comments about Harry Kane’s future amid links with Tottenham.

According to various sources, Kane can leave Bayern for £57m next summer, due to a clause in his contract.

However, it has been reported that the striker would have to inform the German giants by the end of January if he wants to leave, and only then will the clause become active.

We have heard from very reliable sources that Tottenham will activate their first-refusal clause for Kane if he wants to return, but it is unclear at the moment what the 32-year-old will do.

Bayern Munich director discusses Harry Kane’s release clause amid Tottenham links

Max Eberl has now refused to rule out the possibility of Kane leaving the Allianz Arena at the end of the season, admitting that the decision lies with the striker.

However, he added that the England captain is singularly focused on helping the Bundesliga club win titles at the moment.

When asked about Kane’s release clause, the Bayern director told BILD: “He’s old enough to make his own decisions. Whether it’s a clause or no clause, whatever – if he says he wants to make a decision, then he’ll make it, as he showed at Tottenham. But our wish is, of course, to be very, very successful with Harry this season and in the future! At his age, he’s making huge progress on the pitch.

“We all knew him from Tottenham from his goal-scoring skills, but the way he’s playing football right now in this team, leading the way on the pitch as a leader, sacrificing himself for the team, shows: He simply wants to win titles! That’s his hunger, he can do it with us, we want to do it with him.”

Spurs will face competition for Kane but they have an advantage

Tottenham Hotspur are not the only ones eyeing a move for the 32-year-old next summer after the details of his release clause came to light.

According to reports, Barcelona and Chelsea are prepared to challenge Spurs in their pursuit of Kane at the end of this season, but apart from their first-refusal clause, the Lilywhites may have another advantage in the transfer race.

It has been reported that Kane’s family have an excellent relationship with Vivienne Lewis, which may boost the North London club’s chances of bringing him back to the club.
