Harry Kane could return to Premier League, with Liverpool a potential suitor

Harry Kane could return to the Premier League as reports suggest a £67m release clause in his Bayern Munich contract.

Harry Kane’s long-term future is under scrutiny, with reports suggesting the England captain is open to a return to the Premier League. The 31-year-old striker, who joined Bayern Munich in 2023, could be available due to a reported release clause in his contract.

Kane moved to Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur in pursuit of silverware, and after a trophyless debut season, he is now on course to end that drought. With a return to English football still seen as a possibility, top-flight clubs are monitoring the situation closely.

Release Clause Details

Reports indicate that Kane’s contract includes a clause allowing him to leave Bayern under certain conditions.

Initially valued at £67 million, the clause is expected to decrease in the next transfer window, potentially dropping to around £54 million in January 2026.

However, Bayern officials have not publicly commented on the specifics.

Kane himself has remained tight-lipped about the clause, stating last month: "What I can say is that I'm very happy at FC Bayern. No comment on the clause."

Potential Suitors

Should Kane opt for a Premier League return, several clubs could enter the race for his signature.

Tottenham Hotspur, where he remains the club’s all-time top scorer with 280 goals, are reportedly interested in a reunion. Club chairman Daniel Levy has previously hinted at a buyback option, saying: "Of course."

Liverpool have also been linked with Kane, particularly amid uncertainty over Mohamed Salah’s future and the inconsistency of Darwin Nunez.

Spanish outlet El Nacional suggests the Reds are leading the chase if Kane decides to leave Bayern.

Kane’s Stance

Kane has repeatedly expressed satisfaction with life in Germany, saying last year: "I'm really enjoying my experience in Germany. It was a step I needed in my career for a fresh challenge, and I’m really happy that I made the move."

However, one factor that could influence his decision is the all-time Premier League goalscoring record.

Currently 47 goals behind Alan Shearer’s 260-goal benchmark, Kane has hinted that surpassing the record remains a long-term ambition.

"I needed to be playing at the highest level, in the Champions League, trying to win titles every year," Kane said after joining Bayern. "When Bayern got in touch, it was a decision I wanted to make."

With the next transfer window approaching and speculation mounting, Kane’s future remains uncertain. Whether he stays in Germany or makes a Premier League return, clubs will be keeping a close eye on developments.
