Tottenham fans were recently given a major update on the potential return of Harry Kane to the club. The England captain left his childhood team to join Bayern Munich last summer, with only a year left on his contract and no indication of an extension.
The decision by Spurs chairman Daniel Levy to sell their star player just before the start of the 2023/24 season came as a shock, but it likely came with a number of benefits. One of those benefits was hinted at earlier this week when it was announced that Tottenham would host Bayern in a pre-season friendly at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in August.
There had been talk of a buy-back clause after Kane’s departure, but transfer expert Fabrizio Romano shed some light on the situation. According to Romano, there is no traditional buy-back clause in place, but rather a gentleman’s agreement between the two clubs. If Bayern decide to sell Kane in the future, Tottenham will be informed of the decision.
Despite the possibility of Kane returning to Spurs one day, it seems unlikely, especially as Bayern’s chances of winning more trophies diminish. Bayern’s recent defeat to Borussia Dortmund extended Bayer Leverkusen’s lead at the top of the table to 13 points, making winning the Champions League the only hope for Kane this season. Bayern will face Arsenal in the upcoming rounds, with the potential for Kane to be knocked out of Europe by his former club’s bitter rivals.
