Insider reveals: Kane wants two more years in English football | OneFootball

The future of Harry Kane continues to be a topic of conversation. An insider sparks new speculation about his next move – with implications for Bayern and the Premier League.

According to reports, the 32-year-old plans to extend his stay in the Premier League for two more seasons to challenge Alan Shearer's goal record. This is reported by transfer insider Ben Jacobs from GiveMeSport.

Kane is currently 47 goals short of Shearer's mark of 260 league goals. A return to England could be targeted for the summer of 2026 or 2027. When he moved to Munich, the striker had 213 Premier League goals. His contract in Bavaria runs until the summer of 2027, but with a significant clause.

Bayern gambles – clause sets the pace

FC Bayern is simultaneously working on an extension with their superstar but is not rushing the process. In the BILD podcast Bayern-Insider, chief reporter Tobi Altschäffl explained that an exit clause is effective until January 31, 2026 – a fixed 65 million euros. After that, the Munich club holds the upper hand. “If you were to speak with him now, Kane would have all the cards. He could practically write his own salary into the contract, as he could say: ‘I can leave.’”

Internally, the management is aiming for a term until 2028 – without major salary adjustments. Kane earns around 24 million euros per year, and this level is expected to be maintained. For the record champions, the captain of the Three Lions is much more than just a goal scorer.

Meanwhile, the Premier League remains a viable option. Jacobs considers Manchester United a potential suitor and points to Kane's value beyond goals: “I can imagine a scenario where Manchester United makes a move. Kane could come and not only deliver goals but also be a mentor.”

Kane is also frequently linked with a return to his long-time club Tottenham Hotspur. However, the star striker recently opened the door to a future in Munich. Speaking to the Mirror, he said: “I am fully committed to Bayern.” When asked about extending his current contract, he previously stated: “I am open to talks.”
