Tottenham sent strong Harry Kane return message as major transfer hint dropped

Bayern Munich hope that Harry Kane stays “for a few more years”, the club's sporting director Christoph Freund has claimed. Kane has been linked with an emotional return to Tottenham.

It was claimed that the striker has a £57million release clause written into his contract, something that the German giants would honour so long as he expressed a desire to leave in January.

And while Spurs would likely jump at the chance to bring Kane back to North London, Bayern have expressed their desire to keep the England man in Germany for the foreseeable future.

Speaking to Sky in Germany, sporting director Freund said: "We're probably witnessing the best version of Harry Kane there has ever been. He's a perfect player for us, and Harry feels very comfortable in Munich, with the team and his family. That's why we hope he'll stay in Munich for a few more years."

Asked how long Kane could stay, he replied: "It's still too early to discuss it in detail. I think both sides can easily imagine continuing together beyond the end of the current contract."

Freund is not the only one to speak out on Kane’s future. The striker himself has also dropped a clue, claiming talks over a new deal are an option.

He said: "We can certainly talk about that. I have almost two years left. It's not like I'm in the final year of my contract and no one is panicking. I'm fine. The club is fine. I think they're happy with me, and I'm happy with them. Those discussions can take place."

Bayern director of sport Max Eberl added: "A collaboration beyond 2027 is absolutely conceivable. That’s why we will discuss the next steps with him in a relaxed manner.

“He’s an absolute leader - it would be awesome to win titles with him, and he said that too. We want to do that with him for a long time to come."

From a Spurs perspective, Thomas Frank has also spoken out on the prospect of Kane returning to the Premier League and claimed that he would relish the chance to manage him. He said: “There are a lot of Tottenham fans, including myself who would like to see Kane back.

"Personally, I don't think he will do it right now, if I'm honest. He'll probably stay in Bayern [Munich] and continue performing well. He was the top scorer last year. He won the title and he's doing fantastic now.

"I don't know what he's thinking. Myself, I'm a traveller, I like to explore things as well, so he's been here for many years, so why not enjoy the time in Bayern a little bit more. "But he's welcome. If he wants to join us, he's more than welcome."

Kane has been in sensational form for Bayern this season. The 32-year-old has scored an eye-watering 18 goals in just ten appearances in all competitions.
