Tottenham Hotspur are not expected to facilitate a dramatic return for former talisman Harry Kane, nor is Premier League rival Manchester United likely to secure his signature this summer, according to sources at GIVEMESPORT. While both English clubs have been linked with a potential move for the Bayern Munich striker, the likelihood of him departing the Bundesliga giants remains low.
Spurs, who recently completed a transfer deal with Bayern by acquiring Mathys Tel on an initial loan with a £45 million option to buy, are actively searching for additional attacking reinforcements as manager Ange Postecoglou continues to build his squad for the future. Meanwhile, Manchester United, under newly appointed head coach Ruben Amorim, bolstered their ranks during the winter transfer window, securing Patrick Dorgu in a £30 million deal from Lecce. However, despite speculation, Kane does not appear to be on the immediate radar for either club.
Kane Expected to Stay at Bayern Despite Interest from Tottenham and Manchester United
While Tottenham and Manchester United had the opportunity to trigger a £67 million release clause in Kane’s Bayern contract during the winter window, neither club made a formal approach. That clause has now expired, and although the release fee will be reduced to around £55 million in early 2026, there is little indication that Kane will be on the move anytime soon.
Sources indicate that the England captain is happy with life in Germany, both on and off the pitch. Having settled into Bayern Munich seamlessly, Kane is now on track to win his first major trophy, with the club leading the Bundesliga and in contention for Champions League success. His satisfaction in Bavaria presents a significant obstacle for Spurs and United if they were to reignite their interest.
Kane made the high-profile switch from Tottenham to Bayern in August 2023, completing a £100 million transfer after spending his entire senior career with Spurs. His departure left a major void in the North London side’s attack, yet Postecoglou has adapted well in his first season in charge, opting for a dynamic front line rather than a direct Kane replacement.
Bayern Munich Not Actively Seeking Kane Replacement
Despite persistent rumors of Kane being on the radar of his former club and Manchester United, Bayern Munich are not actively looking to offload him. Instead, the club’s hierarchy, led by head coach Vincent Kompany, is seeking an additional striker to provide competition for Kane rather than a direct successor.
Kane himself is not in a hurry to leave Germany, with sources suggesting that while he remains open to a Premier League return before the end of his career, he does not see this summer as the right time for such a move. His current contract at Bayern sees him earning more than £400,000 per week—significantly higher than what either Tottenham or Manchester United could realistically offer—further complicating any potential negotiations.
While Tottenham remain in the market for a striker ahead of the summer transfer window, Postecoglou appears set to assess the potential of academy graduate Dane Scarlett. The 20-year-old has impressed since returning from a loan spell at Oxford United, and the Spurs boss is reportedly keen to give him more opportunities next season.
For now, Kane’s immediate future remains in Germany, leaving both Tottenham and Manchester United needing to explore alternative options in their quest to bolster their attacking ranks.
