England captain Harry Kane reportedly has a release clause in his Bayern Munich contract amid rumours of a shock return to the Premier League.
Kane, widely regarded as top-of-the-line strikers in world football, ended a 19-year stint with Tottenham in 2023 to affix Bayern for an initial £82m, with add-ons taking it to around £100m.
The 31-year-old, who became Spurs’ all-time record scorer, was strongly linked to Manchester United but ended up moving to German top-flight.
Kane has continued his world-class form at Bayern, conjuring up 70 goals and 22 assists across just 72 appearances for the Bundesliga giants.
But it surely has now emerged via German outlet Bild that Kane has a release clause in his current Bayern contract.
It is believed that Kane could’ve left Bayern for £67m in January and the discharge clause will reduce to £54m next winter.
Premier League clubs are ‘aware’ of Kane’s release clause and it could possibly be crucial to a possible return to England, The Telegraph have reported.
It needs to be noted, though, that Kane is currently extremely completely happy in Germany and has no desire to maneuver back to the Premier League at this moment in time.
Speaking last month, ex-United striker Teddy Sheringham expressed his disappointment that the Red Devils did not bring Kane to Old Trafford.
‘Over the past two years, Harry Kane and Declan Rice each became available,’ Sheringham said.
‘Top players, lead by example, proven players week-in-week-out, great players they usually were nowhere near signing them.
‘They let Harry go to Bayern Munich, they weren’t within the frame to get Arsenal away from signing Declan Rice.
‘When those top players became available in Sir Alex Ferguson’s years, he went out and purchased them… Gary Pallister, Roy Keane, Paul Ince, Wayne Rooney, he went out and got these top players.
‘He said, “You’re coming to play for me now, you ain’t going anywhere else within the country, you’re coming to play for Manchester United since you’re top-of-the-line”, but it surely’s not happening now.
‘They’ve got to get back on that road of signing top players who lead by example.’
