Harry Kane holds reports on reports that he could be set next year on a shock recovery to the Premier League due to a release clause in his contract.
The captain of England, 31, came to Bayern Munich from Tottenham 18 months ago and was in good shape for the German giants.
Earlier this week, however, it was claimed that the striker contract contains a clause, which means that it can be purchased for only £ 54 million as soon as it is activated in January 2026. It is also said that a slightly higher buy-out option of £ 67 million was just active last month.
That might open the door for Kane to return to England – but he refused to comment when he was questioned on Friday about the clause.
Speaking after having scored two goals – both from the penalty spot – in Bayern's 3-0 win over Werder Bremen, Kane was asked the question and he could respond cautiously: “What I can say is that I am very happy with FC Bayern. No comments on the clause. “
Many English clubs have already been tipped to take a step for Kane in the aftermath of his release clause made public, including his former club, Tottenham and Manchester United, who were heavily connected to him for his Bundesliga switch.
One of the more intriguing links that has been released this week is Arsenal, which is expected to be the market for a new NR .9 this summer.
But despite the fierce rivalry that exists between Spurs and Arsenal, former Gunners midfielder Paul Merson says that a daring dive for Kane is a no-brainer. He said challenging on Sky Sports: “Arsenal will buy him”, before he doubled when he was asked if he was serious.
“Why not? £ 64 million, why not? Sol Campbell did it [make the move]. People will go: “Oh he is this age and age,” but Arsenal now needs.
“If Arsenal has not won the competition, you have to take a chance. You have to take a chance, buy someone who has been proven. It would not surprise me, and if you are Harry Kane and you 'Ve have been told that you are for £ 64 Million can go, there are only a few teams that could buy him.
“Maybe Tottenham will buy him back, but he will have to win something in Bayern Munich to go back to Tottenham. If you have won nothing in Bayern Munich, you will not go back to Tottenham to win nothing. “
