While Harry Kane seems to be loving life at Bayern Munich, his future has been the biggest talking point in recent months. The English international has been scoring goals for fun since moving to Germany, and it has resulted in a lot of interest from across Europe.
Barcelona are one of the clubs that are keen on signing the 32-year-old, and according to a report from TEAMtalk, Kane is tempted by the opportunity to play for the Catalan giants. Meanwhile, Tottenham are also in the mix.
The North London club want to bring him back to the club, and they do have a secret weapon that could help rival Barcelona in the race for his signature.
After an exceptional spell at Spurs, where he scored 280 goals and bagged 63 assists in 435 outings, Harry Kane parted ways with the club in the summer of 2023 to join Bayern Munich. The move has certainly worked in his favour, as he has finally won a major title and has scored 107 goals in 111 outings for the German club.
While the Englishman is firing on all cylinders for Vincent Kompany’s team and he still has close to 18 months left on his deal, his future is a big talking point because of the existence of a special clause in his contract.
The 32-year-old could trigger a clause that will make him available for just €65 million next summer. Reports suggest the England captain is ready to trigger it as Barcelona look to make a move for him, and Tottenham are also waiting in the wings.
Harry Kane has a race against time to decide whether he wants it triggered, as he must notify Bayern by 31st January. The England skipper is seriously tempted by the idea of joining Barcelona to lead the line after Robert Lewandowski.
The Polish international is likely to leave at the end of the season, and they see Kane as someone who can help them cope with his absence till the time they can afford to bring Erling Haaland to the club. The Catalan giants are ready to offer him wages north of €500,000 per week to make it happen.
While Barcelona are determined to sign Harry Kane, Tottenham have not given up hope. They believe their exciting project under Thomas Frank, combined with the emotional pull of a return to North London and the chance to break Alan Shearer’s 260-goal Premier League record, could help lure him back.
Spurs also possess a secret weapon: the right to match any bid for the 32-year-old. If Bayern Munich accept an offer or another club triggers his release clause, Tottenham can match that amount, potentially giving them an edge in negotiations. However, the final decision will ultimately rest with the player.
