“Yes, It’s true I have achieved my aim of coming to Germany”- Harry Kane makes stunning Premier League transfer decision after being 99% close to lifting his first title

Harry Kane looks set to remain at Bayern Munich for at least another season, ending growing speculation of a dramatic return to the Premier League this summer, talkSPORT understands.

The England captain has reportedly settled well in Bavaria and, according to sources close to the player, is determined to see out another campaign with the German giants. Kane is focused on defending the Bundesliga title and pushing for Champions League glory, ambitions he prioritizes over any potential move back to England — at least for now.

It has been revealed that Kane’s contract includes a release clause that drops to £54 million — down from £67 million — for English clubs starting in January. That clause had reignited interest from several Premier League sides, including Manchester United, who remain long-term admirers of the striker. There were even whispers of a shock return to north London — though this time with Tottenham’s bitter rivals, Arsenal.

Such talk has now been cooled as Kane remains committed to Bayern. The 31-year-old striker, who has been in electrifying form since joining the Bundesliga club in August 2023, is keen to build on his successful debut season. He has scored a sensational 80 goals in just 89 appearances for Bayern, including 36 in 44 matches across all competitions this season.

For Kane, this season could finally mark the end of his long wait for a major team trophy — a pursuit that eluded him throughout his illustrious spell at Tottenham Hotspur. A victory over RB Leipzig on Saturday would seal the Bundesliga title for Bayern Munich and hand Kane the first piece of silverware in his career.

Unfortunately for the former Spurs talisman, he will not be able to take part in the title-deciding clash. Kane is suspended for the match after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season during the recent fixture against Mainz. The suspension rules him out of what would have been a crowning moment.

Reacting to the news of his suspension, Kane voiced his frustration: “Crazy, crazy decision. It’s kind of my story that I’ll miss the Leipzig game. But no worries, I’ll celebrate more than anyone else. I’m very disappointed that I got the yellow card. Because I also knew I already had four yellow cards. It’s crazy to be suspended with five yellow cards in 34 matches. There should be a reset of yellow cards halfway through the season, like in the Premier League.”

Despite his absence, Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany was quick to emphasize Kane’s vital role in the club’s success this season. Kompany said, “It’s not ideal but we won. But it is not like a final [against Leipzig]. Every title you have to celebrate it like it’s your first so I don’t think it will make much of a difference for Harry. It doesn’t take away a single percent of his contribution this season.”

The striker’s decision to move abroad initially raised eyebrows, especially after Premier League champions Manchester City had shown interest in him before eventually signing Erling Haaland. But Kane’s move to Bayern, while surprising to many at the time, appears to be vindicated as he closes in on long-overdue silverware.

Of course, remaining in Germany could have long-term implications for his pursuit of the Premier League’s all-time goalscoring record. Kane had tallied 213 goals in England’s top flight before his departure, and many believed he was the most likely player to overtake Alan Shearer’s record of 260. That dream may now be fading, especially if his stay in Germany extends beyond the 2025 season.

Still, for Kane, the pursuit of collective glory seems to have taken precedence over personal milestones. With his place in the England squad secure and his form at an elite level, the striker appears content and motivated to chase the biggest prizes in European football.

As things stand, the story of Harry Kane’s time in Germany is far from over — and the chapter that brings him back to the Premier League may have to wait.
