Kane’s Exceptional Track Record and Achievements
Since departing Tottenham Hotspur in 2023, where he concluded his tenure as both the club’s and England’s all-time leading goalscorer, Harry Kane has continued to deliver outstanding performances. The England captain’s record-breaking tally for the national side stands at 74 and continues to grow. At club level, Kane has seamlessly adapted to life at Bayern Munich, registering 103 goals in 106 appearances across all competitions. His efforts were rewarded when he secured his inaugural Bundesliga title in the 2024-25 campaign, silencing those who referenced his so-called trophy drought.

Transfer Speculation and Kane’s Response
With his contract at Bayern set to expire in 12 months from next summer, and a buyout clause of £57 million ($77 million) reportedly in place, Kane’s future has become a talking point within the football world. While speculation continues regarding a potential return to English football or a move to MLS, he has clarified his current stance. Kane, who has previously expressed interest in pursuing an NFL career as a kicker post-football, indicated that an MLS move feels premature, stating: “I think MLS is too early for sure, the way I feel right now, the way I am playing right now. MLS would be something later in my career when I am thinking about the last couple of years or so. In terms of staying there [at Bayern] longer, I could definitely see that.”
Kane expanded on his openness to future discussions with Bayern, remarking: “I spoke openly after one of the recent games a couple of weeks ago that I have not had those conversations with Bayern yet, but if they were to arise I would be willing to talk and have an honest conversation. Obviously it depends on how the next year or so goes, what we achieve together. Right now, I would say we are in a fantastic moment and I am not thinking about anything else.
“In terms of the Premier League, I don’t know. If you had asked me when I first left to go to Bayern, I would have said for sure I would come back. Now I have been there a couple of years I would say probably say that has gone down a little bit, not so much, but I wouldn’t say I would never go back. What I have learnt in my career is that different opportunities and different timings happen and things fall in place. Going back to my first point, with Bayern right now, I am fully all in with Bayern.”
Future at Bayern and Personal Priorities
Addressing the possibility of a contract extension, Kane acknowledged: “If there was a conversation about extending then we will see, but I have still got this season and another season. It is not like I am in my last year, it is not like there is any panic in that sense. I am calm, I love the manager at Bayern, I think he is fantastic and, as always in my career, as long we are improving and I am improving, then I am happy to see what we can achieve.
“If there is going to be an extension it has to work for everyone and it has to have a clear vision on where we see the club. As I say, the manager is a big part of that, the players are a big part of that. Personally I don’t want to rush into anything, the conversation I am sure will be one we have and then we will go from there.
“I am extremely happy there, my wife and kids are happy to stay and as you get older that a big part of any decision you make. But, as always, you never know what is around the corner. I am not going to put my eggs in any basket. I am going to enjoy what I am doing and right now that is at Bayern Munich, definitely for this season and probably next season that is going to be the way.”
Ambitions: Silverware at Bayern and England’s World Cup Charge
Reflecting on his future ambitions, Kane remains focused on adding to his trophy collection with Bayern and helping England towards World Cup qualification in 2026. Despite suggestions from former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp in 2024 that a lucrative MLS move could appeal, Kane is presently determined to build upon his Bayern Munich achievements and continue his prolific form for both club and country. While a future collaboration with Lionel Messi at Inter Miami or even succeeding the Argentine legend in Florida has been proposed in the media, such a scenario does not factor into Kane’s immediate plans, as he prioritises team success and personal development in Bavaria.
