England captain Harry Kane remains focused on his season at Bayern Munich amid recent links with a return to Tottenham Hotspur, journalist Fabrizio Romano has exclusively revealed on GIVEMESPORT’s Market Madness podcast.
The 32-year-old striker’s future has been the subject of speculation in recent weeks, with his release clause set to drop to €65m (£54m) in January, potentially putting several Premier League clubs on alert.
Romano claims Kane is not expected to make a decision over his future until after the 2026 World Cup, as he is ‘very happy’ with life at Bayern, as well as with head coach Vincent Kompany.
Kane, who joined the reigning Bundesliga champions from Tottenham in the summer of 2023, is under contract until June 2027.
Harry Kane 'Very Happy' at Bayern
Romano, speaking on the Market Madness podcast, revealed Kane is not considering a departure from Bayern at this point in the season and may only address his future after the World Cup next year:
“Look, I think there is some possibility to see that happening, but what I can guarantee is that we have to forget about that speculation now and for the next months, because until the World Cup, Harry Kane will not make any kind of decision.
“When he says in public that he is very happy at Bayern, it’s the reality. Obviously, the numbers at the start of the season are incredible.
“It's not just about the numbers, the goals, the assists. Harry is very happy with Vincent Kompany as the coach, with his teammates, with the whole project at Bayern.
“They feel at Bayern, Kane and all the others, that they can win every title this season. They will be competitive in all the competitions.
“Harry Kane obviously also wants to make something special happen at the World Cup, and so [there are] no distractions about transfers and all the rest.
“Then with the Premier League, we’ll see what's going to happen after the World Cup. We’ll see what kind of season Bayern will have.
“But I can guarantee that now, today and the next few months, the full focus of Harry Kane is only going to be on Bayern.
“I don't think we will have any kind of talk or contact about Harry Kane returning to the Premier League now. We will see in the near future, that could be a possibility, but now full focus is on Bayern.”
Kane has started the 2024/25 campaign in incredible fashion, scoring 18 goals and providing three assists in 10 appearances, helping Bayern maintain a perfect start to the season.
The Bavarians have yet to drop points in any competition, winning all 10 games in a row, including back-to-back Champions League wins over Chelsea and Cypriot side Pafos.
Kane failed to secure any silverware during his first season in Germany in 2023/24, but has lifted the Bundesliga and the German Super Cup this year and was named the German league’s Player of the Season.
The 32-year-old departed Tottenham after becoming the club’s all-time record goalscorer in 2023/24, with 280 goals in 435 appearances for the North London side.
