Ask any Tottenham fan if they would like to see Harry Kane return to the club and they will probably say yes. Tottenham's all-time top goalscorer left the club in 2023 to sign for Bayern Munich.
Kane left in search of trophies, having failed to pick up a single piece of silverware while at Spurs. And while he did not win anything in his first season with the Bavarian giants, he is on course to lift the Bundesliga title this season, with Bayern six points clear of Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the table.
Spurs have just signed Kane's Bayern teammate Mathys Tel on loan for the rest of the season, with an option to make the move permanent in the summer. Kane opened up on the move, saying: "It's great for Tottenham to have a young, hungry player with loads of talent to hopefully score some goals and help push Tottenham as far as possible. I wish him all the best and hopefully he has a fantastic time there, I know he will. I'm sure all the fans will make him feel really welcome as well."
Ever since he left N17, there has been talk of the England captain returning one day. Spurs do hold a buy-back option, should Bayern ever decide to sell. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said: "Of course," when questioned at a fans' forum if he had inserted a buy-back clause into the deal to sell Kane to Bayern.
It is not clear how that clause works, with reports suggesting Spurs will have first refusal on re-signing the frontman should Bayern look to sell in the future.
Now, new details of Kane's contract with the German side have emerged. According to SportBild, Kane can activate a release clause from his contract at the Allianz Arena.
The England captain had the opportunity to activate that clause in the January transfer window, but decided against doing so. Had he activated the clause, he would have been available in the summer transfer window for €80million (£66.5million).
Tottenham's chances of re-signing him do not end there, though. Kane can once again activate a release clause in the 2026 January transfer window, which would then see him available to sign in the summer of 2026 for €65million (£54million).
Kane's contract with Bayern expires in 2027, at which time he will be almost 34-years-old.
