Two Bayern Munich chiefs offer Harry Kane future updates amid Tottenham return hopes
Tottenham have been dealt a blow in their hope to recover one of their favourite former players.
The dream of many a Tottenham fan may be beyond reach after a fresh update from a director on the continent. The return of Harry Kane to Tottenham is often discussed, with the striker still having unfinished bysiness at his old club.
Kane still has the Premier League goalscoring record within reach, while he would have loved to lift a trophy with Spurs. The England striker has been a huge hit at Bayern Munich, winning Bundesliga last season, while he has scored 73 goals in 69 league appearances to date.
The 32-year-old is out of contract at Bayern in 2027, and there have been some suggestions that Bayern could sell the striker next summer to make sure they get some change for him should a new contract not be agreed.
That sparked talk of a possible return to Tottenham next summer, with many believing he wants to get that Premier League record. But Kane has also made it clear he wants to win trophies, and he is doing that at Bayern, and it wouldn’t be a stretch to say he might well end up with a Champions League title if he stays with the German club for the next three or four years.
In the latest update, Bayern director Christoph Freund has told Sky90 that a new contract could well be on the cards. He said: “Both us and Harry Kane’s side can easily imagine continuing together beyond the end of the current contract. Harry feels very comfortable in Munich. That is why we hope he will stay in Munich for a few more years.”
That’s a blow for any Tottenham fan who wants to see Kane return to the club at some stage. Meanwhile, Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen added: “Harry feels completely comfortable. We’ll talk about it at the appropriate time. At the moment, our focus is only on the current season.” Bayern are currently four points clear at the top of Bundesliga and Kane is the league’s top scorer by six clear goals.
