Okay, maybe “secret” is pushing it, but many fans are not aware of how Harry Kane could eventually land back at Tottenham Hotspur.
According to a report by Matt Law of the Telegraph, Tottenham Hotspur retain an option to sign Harry Kane even after his recent contract extension with Bayern Munich. The clause is a “matching right” option, which means that Spurs will be able to match any bid made on Kane should FC Bayern ever decide to sell him. So, if Chelsea (for example) offer a hundred million for Kane in 2028, Spurs could match the bid and Bayern would be legally bound to sell to the latter instead.
This clause goes back to the original deal and transfer fee negotiated between Bayern Munich and Daniel Levy back in 2023. It’s funny that Levy went as far as to include a clause like this, but didn’t include a bonus for winning the Ballon d’Or.
It is likely to end up irrelevant, as every sign indicates that Harry Kane will finish his top level career at FC Bayern. In the next three seasons, Kane wants to win the UEFA Champions League and at least another Ballon d’Or, as well as some silverware with England. His best chance of doing that comes from staying at one of the best clubs in the world, rather than moving back to a basket case like Tottenham.
The only thing this report does is put egg on the faces of Bild, who claimed that the new Kane contract had removed this particular clause. What a laugh.
