England captain Harry Kane has suggested he may extend his stay at Bayern Munich beyond 2027, revealing that his desire to return to the Premier League has lessened.
Since joining Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023, Kane has been in record-breaking form, netting 103 goals in 106 matches across all competitions and helping the German champions secure both the Bundesliga and German Super Cup titles.
The 32-year-old’s prolific performances have fueled ongoing transfer speculation, especially given his reported €67 million ($78.42 million) release clause.
Asked about the possibility of extending his contract, Kane told British media: “I could definitely see that. I spoke openly a couple of weeks ago that I have not had those conversations with Bayern yet.
“But if they were to arise I would be willing to talk and have an honest conversation. Obviously it depends on how the next year or so goes and what we achieve together.
“Right now, I would say we are in a fantastic moment and I am not thinking about anything else.”
Tottenham manager Thomas Frank recently noted that many fans would love to see Kane return to the Premier League, where he ranks as the second-highest scorer in history with 213 goals — just 47 behind Alan Shearer.
“In terms of the Premier League, I don’t know. If you had asked me when I first left to go to Bayern, I would have said for sure I would come back,” Kane said.
“Now I have been there a couple of years I would probably say that has gone down a little bit, but I wouldn’t say I would never go back.
“What I have learned in my career is that different opportunities and different timings happen and things fall in place. Going back to my first point with Bayern, right now I am fully all in with Bayern.”
Kane is currently with the England squad preparing to face Wales in a friendly at Wembley on Thursday before travelling to Riga for a World Cup qualifier against Latvia on October 14.
