Harry Kane has admitted he is open to extending his contract with Bayern Munich, even as speculation continues over a possible return to Tottenham Hotspur. The England captain, now two years into his Bundesliga adventure, insists he is focused on the present and “extremely happy” in Germany.
The striker has less than two years left on his current deal with Bayern and would have to signal by January if he wanted to trigger a reported £56.7 million exit clause next summer. But Kane, who has started the season with a remarkable 18 goals in 10 games, has suggested he sees his future in Munich for at least the next two campaigns.
Speaking ahead of the international break, the 32-year-old poured cold water on talk of a move to MLS or an immediate return to England: “I think MLS is too early for sure, the way I feel right now, the way I am playing right now… In terms of staying there [at Bayern] longer, I could definitely see that.”
Kane reflects on Premier League return prospects
Much has been made of Kane’s unfinished business in the Premier League. The former Spurs talisman sits 48 goals behind Alan Shearer’s all-time scoring record, and many assumed he would one day return to chase it down. Tottenham boss Thomas Frank even admitted last month he would “welcome him back.”
But Kane’s own words strike a more measured tone:
“If you had asked me when I first left to go to Bayern, I would have said for sure I would come back. Now I have been there a couple of years I would say probably that has gone down a little bit… But I wouldn’t say I would never go back.” — Harry Kane
That hint of uncertainty will not extinguish Spurs fans’ hopes entirely, especially with the club holding first-refusal rights should Kane leave Bavaria. But for now, the forward appears fully committed to Bayern’s project under manager Vincent Kompany.
Record-breaking form in Munich
Kane’s numbers since arriving at the Allianz Arena are astonishing. After a prolific first campaign, he has begun 2025/26 in even more ruthless fashion:
| Stat (2025/26) | Harry Kane |
|---|---|
| Appearances | 10 |
| Goals | 18 |
| Assists | 3 |
| Goals per Game | 1.8 |

Eighteen goals in ten matches underline his world-class consistency. For a player who has seamlessly translated his Premier League pedigree into the Bundesliga, the temptation to stay in Germany longer is clear.
Analyst verdict: Bayern project fits Kane’s ambitions
FootballPlace analyst John William believes Kane’s stance reflects a player who has found balance both on and off the pitch:
“Kane’s form in Munich speaks for itself. At 32, he is proving age is no barrier, and Bayern offer him both silverware and stability. While the Premier League record will always be a dangling carrot, Kane may now value trophies and family happiness above individual milestones. An extension would make perfect sense.”
Kane also made clear that personal considerations will influence his future. With his wife and children happy in Munich, the family factor may tilt him toward remaining longer in Bavaria.
Key insights
- Harry Kane has 18 goals and 3 assists in 10 games this season.
- He has less than two years left on his Bayern contract but is open to extending.

What’s next for Kane and Bayern?
Kane will spearhead England during the international break before returning to Bayern for a crucial run of Bundesliga and Champions League fixtures. With his blistering form, he looks set to battle for another European Golden Shoe.
For Tottenham fans, his comments may sting, but his legacy in North London is secure. The real question is whether chasing Shearer’s record will ever outweigh his new life in Munich — or whether Kane’s story will now be written in German footballing history.
