It has been confirmed that the current contract includes a termination clause that allows Harry Kane (32), who left Tottenham two years ago and built a nest in Bayern Munich.
The German daily Bild reported on the 4th (local time), 'Kane's contract included a termination (release) clause. Kane, who sees breaking the English Premier League scoring record as an attractive task, wanted a clause inserted in case he wanted to return to England, the report said.
It's the work of a former head of state. According to Bild, current general manager Christophe Freund was not involved in the insertion of termination clauses when he signed Kane for a transfer fee of 100 million euros in the summer of 2023. Former general manager Jan-Christian Drissen negotiated and approved by a transfer committee consisting of Uli Houness, Carl Heinz Lumenighe and Herbert Heiner. Bild said 'Kane's aspirations were considered 'fair' to all club officials at the time.
According to Bild, the possibility of returning to the EPL immediately this summer converges to zero. To leave in the summer of 2025, the termination clause must be invoked in January at the latest. The transfer fee required for the invocation of the termination clause is about 80 million euros. If you wish to transfer in the summer of 2026, you must invoke the termination clause in January 2026. At this time, the transfer fee is about 65 million euros. Kane is signed until the summer of 2027.
Bild said 'Kane has not considered taking advantage of the termination clause at any point this season. From a football perspective and a personal point of view, I am living a happy life with my family in Munich'
Kane is second in this category with 213 EPL goals for Tottenham. Only top scorer Alan Shearer (260 goals) has more goals than Kane. Wayne Rooney (208 goals), Andy Cole (187 goals), and Sergio Aguero (184 goals) all retired. Kane is considered a 'easy' record chaser along with sixth-ranked Mohamed Salah (Liverpool, 178 goals).
If Kane attempts to return to the EPL, attention is expected to be paid to whether he will reunite with Son Heung-min (Tottenham). Kane attended a supporters' event in December last year and quickly showed off his affection, responding to the question, "'Sonny' when asked to select a Tottenham player who wants to bring him to Munich. Son Heung-min's contract, which triggered a one-year extension option, expires in June 2026. The contract needs to be extended once more in order for the 'Son-Keduo' to regroup at Tottenham.
Kane became the top scorer with 36 goals in 2023-2024, his first season in Munich. In 18 games this season, he has scored 19 goals, more than one goal per game on average. As of the 20th round, Munich is leading by 6 points over Leverkusen (45 points) with 51 points, increasing the possibility of 'first win'.
