Harry Kane (32, Bayern Munich) directly denied rumors of a return to the Premier League.
Kane has seized the opportunity to fulfill his long-held ambition of winning since his transfer to Munich in 2023. This season, Munich is leading the Bundesliga with an overwhelming performance. Munich has also reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Since joining Munich, Kane has proven his value with 32 goals and 11 assists in 37 matches.
Kane has targeted his former team, Tottenham. Kane noted, "Being part of a big club like Munich gives me more confidence and responsibility. I feel like I have improved and grown a lot. I believe my aura as a player has changed as I get to play in bigger matches."
Additionally, Kane remarked, "In the past, I heard that scoring 40 goals wasn’t enough to win. Now that I’m on a bigger stage, I believe this year, winning is definitely possible," hinting at Tottenham.
Nevertheless, recent claims have emerged that if Kane wins a trophy in Germany, he might return to England. The Sun reported, "If Kane wins with Munich, there is a possibility he could return to the Premier League, as he has unfulfilled dreams in the Premier League."
The dream Kane desires is to be the all-time highest goal scorer in the Premier League. Kane wishes to surpass Alan Shearer’s record of 260 goals in the Premier League. Currently, Kane has scored 213 goals before transferring to Germany. If Kane scores just 47 more goals, he can surpass Shearer. This is a figure that Kane’s skill could achieve in 2-3 seasons.
If a Premier League team wants to sign Kane this summer, they must pay a buyout amount of £67 million (approximately 126.3 billion won). Currently, big clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea are showing interest.
Kane spoke directly about the persistent transfer rumors. In an interview with ESPN, Kane said, "I am really happy at Munich. We have a fantastic team and coaching staff here at Munich. I am also in top condition. I want to stay here and play at the highest level for as long as I can," denying the rumors of a return to England.
Kane further stated, "Of course, anything can happen in football. But right now, I’m only thinking about Munich and the Bundesliga. Other leagues are not on my radar. I want to enjoy my playing career at Munich as much as possible," without mentioning a move to England.
With Kane directly denying the rumors, the prospects of a reunion with Son Heung-min and a transfer to Manchester United are expected to be no longer discussed.
