Despite Bayern pledge: Tottenham set to make huge offer for Harry Kane | OneFootball

Over the past roughly 18 months, Harry Kane has established himself as an absolute leading figure at FC Bayern—on and off the pitch. The English superstar scores regularly, tops the Bundesliga scoring chart, and clearly feels at home in Munich. All the more astonishing, then, that his former club Tottenham Hotspur still believes in a return—and, according to reports, is even planning a billion-euro transfer offensive.

In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Kane made it clear: “I’m very happy here in Munich. It’s not something I’m thinking about.” With that, the 32-year-old put to rest, at least from his perspective, any speculation about a possible return to England. “FC Bayern has become like a second home for me,” added the striker—a clear commitment to the German record champions.

Apparently, however, that message hasn’t reached London.

Tottenham wants to “go all out”—despite Kane’s clear statement

According to the English outlet TEAMtalk, Spurs are preparing a spectacular homecoming move for the summer of 2026. Owners ENIC Group are said to be ready to dig deep to bring back the prodigal son. The plan is reportedly to pay a fee above the fixed release clause of 65 million euros and to take on his current annual salary of around 24 million euros.

With a symbolic transfer, Tottenham wants to underline the club’s ambitions under coach Thomas Frank. The plan: Kane is to become the face of the new project—and help establish Spurs at the top of the Premier League on a permanent basis.

According to the report, the motivation is clear: Kane still lacks Alan Shearer’s record, who, with 260 goals, is the most prolific scorer in Premier League history. The former Tottenham captain currently stands at 213 goals. A return to England would give him the chance to break that mark—a goal that holds an almost mythical status in England.

FC Bayern is responding calmly to the rumors from England. In Munich, they know the striker’s value, want to extend his contract, which runs until 2027, on a long-term basis—but are in no rush to do so. The reason is a release clause valid until January 31, 2026.

If Kane seeks a move by that date, he could leave Bayern for a fixed fee of 65 million euros. After the deadline, the clause expires—and with it Kane’s leverage for future contract talks. Only then, according to club circles, does FCB plan to begin concrete talks about an extension.

Sportingly and personally, everything fits perfectly at the moment. Kane is fully integrated, enjoys the highest esteem among fans and teammates, and delivers at a consistently world-class level.

Even if Tottenham intends to do everything to bring Harry Kane back, there is currently little to suggest a return to London. The captain of the English national team feels at home in Munich, is enjoying sporting success, and is in an environment that suits him perfectly.
