Striker duo of superlatives! Harry Kane is suddenly being traded to ManCity | OneFootball

Harry Kane and Erling Haaland together in a team? A duo that would look „unrealistic“ in any video game – and yet City legend Shaun Wright-Phillips is taking the idea very seriously. The former winger believes that Erling Haaland and Harry Kane could play together at Manchester City – a vision that would electrify the soccer world

The trigger for his thoughts: Kane’s fixed exit clause. From the summer, the superstar could leave FC Bayern for 65 million euros – a price that would be easily feasible for the Premier League giants

Honorary president Uli Hoeneß officially confirmed for the first time on Sunday that Kane has such a clause, which must be activated by the striker by the end of January

„City would welcome him with open arms“

In an interview with the City Xtra portal, Wright-Phillips said: „If Kane wants the Premier League record, Manchester City would welcome him with open arms.“

The 44-year-old is alluding to Kane’s pursuit of Alan Shearer’s all-time record. The Englishman is 48 goals short – a figure that gives many in England hope that Kane could return to the Premier League at some point

City wanted to sign Kane back in 2021. Pep Guardiola is said to have made four offers at the time, but Tottenham blocked them. Kane stayed – and City got Haaland. „They could play together“ – the crazy Haaland-Kane scenario

Wright-Phillips goes even further: he even believes in a two-man attacking duo that could write soccer history. „Kane is an exceptional number 10. That would free up Haaland.“

For him, the interplay would be clear: Kane drops back, distributes balls, Haaland starts deep – and is served by one of the best passers in Europe. An idea that even works tactically

As spectacular as the scenario sounds – it has no basis whatsoever. Harry Kane has been emphasizing for weeks how happy he is at FC Bayern. His form, his role, his environment: everything fits

Munich have long been planning to extend his contract beyond 2027. Those in charge speak openly of a clear roadmap. And Hoeneß recently hinted that Kane „will very probably extend“

If you sort out the facts, a clear picture emerges: Kane has no interest in leaving Bayern in the short term. He is in his prime and is playing the season of his life. And he is currently chasing Champions League titles rather than records.
