Harry Kane is set to sign a colossal contract with Bayern Munich, a move that could seal any real hopes of the England captain returning to the Premier League. Sources close to the player have revealed the impressive salary proposal that the 32-year-old forward is about to receive, in a play that promises to shake up the transfer market.
In recent weeks, Bayern has intensified negotiations with Kane and his representatives, with the club’s CEO, Jan-Christian Dreesen, making significant efforts to secure the striker’s long-term future in Munich. Kane, who has just over 12 months remaining on the contract he signed when leaving Tottenham Hotspur in 2023, did not activate the clause that would allow him to leave this summer for a fee exceeding £50 million (€60m, $67m). This decision is a clear indication of the player’s intentions.
Graeme Bailey, a transfer specialist at TEAMtalk, revealed that Kane’s choice not to activate his release clause demonstrates his current satisfaction. “If Kane wanted to leave Bayern, he would have done it this summer and would have used the clause,” Bailey stated. “Kane is very happy, loves what Bayern has built around him, appreciates Vincent Kompany’s work, and wants to win the Champions League.”
Despite his contentment in Germany, interest from English clubs has never disappeared. Bailey confirmed the existence of opportunities in England, mentioning that Sir Jim Ratcliffe, a potential investor in Manchester United, is a big admirer of the player. “If his people were to call, he would be the next to join Manchester United, no doubt,” he said.
In addition to United, other giants of the Premier League, such as Chelsea, have a long-standing interest in Kane. However, the possibility of a return to English football seems increasingly remote, especially with the imminent contract extension that the player is negotiating with Bayern. “From what I’m hearing from sources close to Kane, he is signing a new contract at Bayern,” Bailey added. “They are precisely working on the duration, but I can confirm that it will be the largest contract in Bundesliga history, and with bonuses, it could see the player earning an impressive £500,000 per week.”
A contract of this type, which could be worth up to £48 million (€55m, $65m) to the player over two years, would not only underline Kane’s importance to Bayern but also cement his status as a central figure in the club’s long-term project under Kompany’s leadership. “If he really signs a contract of this magnitude, I’m not sure we’ll see him back in the Premier League,” Bailey concluded.
As negotiations continue, all indications suggest that Kane is preparing to extend his stay in Germany, potentially closing the door on one of the most talked-about return stories in English football. Anticipation is growing as fans eagerly await the official confirmation of this deal that could change the course of his career and European football.
