Harry Kane sees Bayern Munich release clause drop significantly to open up possible Premier League return
Harry Kane has a release clause in his Bayern Munich contract, which has dropped significantly in recent days. The England captain joined Bayern from Tottenham in a staggering £100million transfer in 2023. Kane has enjoyed an excellent 2024 for Bayern and England and could end the season with a trophyGetty While he has yet to lift a trophy with the Bavarian giants, his performance has been nothing short of impressive, scoring 70 goals in 72 games. Yet, clubs have the power to activate a release clause in his Bayern contract if they desire, according to Sport Bild, hinting that a return to the Premier League could be a possibility. Kane was available for £67m in the January transfer window, but that clause will now be reduced to £54m next winter. However, there’s no indication the 31-year-old wishes to leave Bayern. He has forged a life in Munich and is fervently hoping to end his trophy drought this season. Bayern currently stand at the top of the Bundesliga table, six points clear of Bayer Leverkusen, preparing to face Celtic for a spot in the last 16 of the Champions League. Kane remains under contract with Bayern until 2027, but club executives are eyeing potential long-term successors, with Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres reportedly on their radar. The striker still has Tottenham close to his heart and played a role in Mathys Tel‘s move to north London on deadline day. “He told me it’s a big club with a lot of very good people. “The pitch is very nice and the training centre is very good, and if you go there you can enjoy it. Everything was positive.” Tel signed on a loan deal with Tottenham despite initially turning them down after chairman Daniel Levy flew to Germany to persuade him to join. At Tottenham, Kane cemented his place as a club legend and left as their top scoring playerGetty In Germany, Kane celebrated a personal milestone in his 50th Bundesliga appearance for Bayern as they triumphed over the struggling Holstein Kiel 4-3. Kane’s impressive double in the game means he has outscored former Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland in goals during their first 50 Bundesliga games. Kane’s remarkable 55 goals in 50 league games aren’t the only Bundesliga records he’s shattered this season.
