After Owen’s sharp criticism: Kane explains his move to Bayern | OneFootball

Harry Kane has responded to the critical words of England's football icon Michael Owen regarding his move to Munich. The captain of the Three Lions remained calm - and reaffirmed that his move to FC Bayern was exactly the right one.

Owen had recently questioned whether the striker's move to the Bundesliga in 2023 was really the ideal career step. The former goal-getter reminded that Kane was only 47 goals away from Alan Shearer's Premier League goal record. In addition, the star striker's decision had posed major challenges for his family with school-age children.

In a conversation with the Daily Mail, Kane now responded to the criticism. "I've heard about it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I've spent some time with him, but I don't know him well. He's one of the greats of the Premier League and of England, and I respect him as a person, but every career is different. Everyone's decisions and motivations are different," explained the 31-year-old.

Kane emphasized that it was never solely about titles or records for him, but about playing at the highest level for as long as possible. "I know he hinted that it's all about the cup for me. But it was about being active at the highest level for as long as possible."

Champions League title as a central goal

The English international pointed out that he can regularly compete for the biggest trophies at Bayern: "I'm very happy that I'm playing big matches, title fights, big Champions League games, the quarterfinals at the Club World Cup."

In addition, Kane highlighted his personal development in Munich: "I feel that I'm improving as a player with the Munich team. I'm very satisfied with my decision and very happy at Bayern."

With now 213 Premier League goals for Tottenham Hotspur, Kane remains an icon in England, but his focus is clearly forward. The Champions League title with the German record champion remains his big goal.
