Harry Kane has already revealed Tottenham return stance as Bayern Munich 'braced' for transfer

Harry Kane has previously left the door open to a return to the Premier League. The 32-year-old striker, who left Tottenham Hotspur to join Bayern Munich in July 2023 for £86.4 million (€100m), has recently been linked with a move back to the English top-flight.

Kane, whose contract at the Allianz Arena expires in June 2027, has featured twice in the Bundesliga this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists. Playing a key role in Vincent Kompany's side, he's helped the reigning champions get off to the perfect start.

Despite the England international's impressive performances, Bayern looked to sign a new forward in the summer. The Bavarians set their sights on Nick Woltemade, but he went to Newcastle United, so they signed Nicolas Jackson on loan instead.

Kane also only has two years left on his contract, leading some to believe that the German giants will cash in while they still have the chance. Speaking to talkSPORT, as quoted by the Express, German football journalist Raphael Honigstein revealed that Bayern are 'braced' for the Englishman's departure.

The German football expert said: "It's no big secret that people in Germany don't expect Harry Kane to see out his career at Bayern. I think Bayern are braced for the possibility that he will leave slightly earlier than his contract, which runs until 2027.

"One way or the other, he and the club need to take a view on this fairly soon. They were pushing for somebody who can both be a backup and an understudy for Kane

"They looked at [Benjamin] Sesko. They looked at [Nick] Woltemade. They ended up with Jackson, with an obligation to buy. This suggests Bayern are aware of the possibility that Kane might go in a year or two."

Honigstein added: "But at the same time, he's so good that anyone who comes in has to play around him.There is absolutely no chance that Jackson will displace Kane.

"He will have to play alongside him, ahead of him or give Kane a rest in a game or two. But he is very much there to be his eventual successor, but we are still quite far off that."

Kane didn't rule out a move back to the Premier League when he was quizzed on his future earlier this year. Speaking to ESPN in April 2025, the former Spurs captain said: "I'm not sure. I've said throughout my whole career, I'm not someone who likes to think too far ahead.

"I'm extremely happy here. I think we have a fantastic team, fantastic coaching staff, and I just feel like whilst I feel like I'm in the best condition, I wanna play at the highest level possible, and this is as high as it gets.

"So, I know a lot can change in football in a short space of time and things can happen, but ultimately my focus is here. I'm not thinking about any other league or any other team.

"And with football, I like to just go with the flow and at the moment, the flow is here at Bayern Munich," added Kane. "I think when you're just playing in the biggest games every season, year after year, I think that puts you on that stage.

"I had moments at Spurs where we had that ... we had some really great years where we were challenging for titles, and were in the final of the Champions League. So, I had those moments at Spurs, but not on a consistent basis. It wasn't year after year."
