Harry Kane unsure about Premier League return but leaves door open

Harry Kane said he does not know whether he will return to the Premier League, explaining that breaking the competition’s goalscoring record alone would not persuade him to leave Bayern Munich. He said a return would require ideal circumstances, but did not rule it out entirely.

According to the report, the England captain has renewed his contract with Bayern until 2029 and has 213 Premier League goals, 47 short of Alan Shearer’s record of 260. Kane said his current priorities are to try to win the Champions League with Bayern and lift international trophies with England, and that his experience in Germany has broadened his outlook and left him settled in Bavaria for the foreseeable future.

The report quoted The Telegraph as saying that Tottenham retain the right to match any acceptable offer from a Premier League club for Kane under a clause between the clubs, giving them priority in signing him if he decides to return. It also noted Manchester United’s previous interest in the striker and the possibility that a reunion with Mauricio Pochettino could be an attractive option for him if Pochettino takes charge of United, as the report said.
