A leading German pundit has revealed that the expectation at Bayern Munich is that Tottenham legend Harry Kane will return to the Premier League next summer.
Tottenham Hotspur’s record scorer has broken all sorts of goal records since his move to the Allianz Arena a little over two years ago, having scored 91 goals and provided 28 assists in 100 appearances for the Bundesliga giants.
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 month that the England captain could return to the Premier League next summer after the 2026 World Cup.
Bayern Munich expect Harry Kane to push for a move to England
Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann has now suggested that the feeling at the Bavarian club is that the 32-year-old will push for a return to England after the 2026 World Cup.
He explained that the Bavarian club are already preparing for the striker’s departure and even tried to future-proof themselves in this summer’s transfer window.
Hamann told Adventure Gamers (as relayed by Goal.com): “I think Harry Kane has a clause that allows him to leave for a certain amount next summer. I believe the reason Bayern Munich wanted to bring Nick Woltemade in this summer was because many within the club think Kane wants to go back to England after the World Cup.
“Whether that’s the case, I don’t know, but potentially it could be his last season in Munich if someone pays the fee, he can choose to leave next summer. Whether someone pays £50 million or £60m for him next summer, I don’t know.
“Obviously, a lot will depend on what happens this season in the World Cup. But yes, I think a lot of people, I don’t know where they get it from, but many seem to believe that he may want to return to England next summer.”
Tottenham are expected to try to re-sign Harry Kane
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 the German club.
Some journalists, like Pete O’Rourke, are convinced that Daniel Levy will try to bring the England captain back to Spurs next summer should he become available.
However, 12 months is a long time in football, and a lot can change in that time, both for Kane and Spurs.
