Everything we know about Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich release clause as Tottenham plot stunning move
Tottenham fans could be dreaming of an extraordinary homecoming for Harry Kane at Tottenham.
With renewed takeover speculation, it begs the question if Tottenham could re-sign Kane next summer just three years after he departed for Bayern Munich for a reported £87 million.
Kane’s transer could take Spurs to the next level, and a deal may be more reasonable than any fan could have imagined when he first moved on.
Bayern Munich are worried this may be Kane’s last season in Germany, and while they successfully replaced a Robert Lewandowski-shaped hole, life after Kane may prove to be trickier.
Kane’s situation
Kane signed a four-year deal at Bayern and committed his future to the Bavarian club until 2027 as their highest earner and number nine.
Now, with two years left on his contract, the 32-year-old could be set to catch a return flight back to Tottenham.
Initially, the paperwork listed Kane’s release fee at £67 million, but Bild reported this figure will drop by over £10 million next summer.
Tottenham fans would welcome Kane back to the club if a deal is reached and their manager Thomas Frank would also have open arms.
In a press conference, Frank was asked about the possibility of Kane’s return, and he said: “If he wants to join us, he is more than welcome.”
Bayern Munich have also made their stance clear with sporting director Max Eberl speaking to Sport Bild and he said: “Kane is old enough to make his own decisions, whether it’s a clause or no clause, whatever – if he says he wants to make a decision, then he’ll make it, as he showed at Tottenham. But our wish is, of course, to be very, very successful with Harry this season and in the future!”
Kane finally got his hands on some silverware while in Germany, lifting the Bundesliga at the end of last season, swiftly followed by the German Super Cup.
The trophies finally came, and his goals never stopped, with the England captain netting 98 goals in just 103 games.

Eyes on Premier League goalscoring record
Alan Shearer currently holds the record for most Premier League goals with 260.
Kane is in second place on 213, and if a move back to the English top-flight was to materialise, then that record will be more than within his reach.
At 32 years old, although seemingly getting better year on year, it could be now or never if Shearer is to be overtaken.
47 goals is the difference between the two, and with Kane’s track record in the league, it may well only take two great seasons to seal it.
There will be a lot of admirers trying to convince Kane to join their project but a return back to Spurs to become the best goalscorer in the league’s history may be too hard to turn down.
