Manchester United are understood to be interested in making a statement move for former Tottenham Hotspur hero Harry Kane in the summer transfer window after being made aware of an intriguing release clause in the Bayern Munich forward’s contract at the Allianz Arena.
The Red Devils are desperate to sign a centre forward that can help them regain their place among the Premier League’s elite after a lacklustre start to the season which has seen centre forward duo Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee register a measly combined total of just four league goals between them this season.
United had been heavily linked with Matheus Cunha during the January transfer window, but were reluctant to make an offer amid Wolves' reported £70m price tag on the Brazilian, who has since signed a new deal.
The Old Trafford club had also been linked with a move for Kane’s less experienced Bayern Munich team-mate Mathys Tel, who is tipped to one day become one of France’s finest talents, but it was ultimately Tottenham who won the race to sign the teenager on loan in a dramatic U-turn which occurred just days after the youngster had seemingly snubbed a move to the capital.
Harry Kane’s journey so far
Harry Kane broke into the Tottenham Hotspur team at the end of the 2013/14 season under Tim Sherwood after mixed loan spells at the likes of Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich City and Leicester City. He burst on to the scene in the 2014/15 season with 21 goals in 34 Premier League games and has since remained one of the most feared strikers in European football.
Overall, Kane scored a staggering 280 goals in 435 games for the Lillywhites across all competitions - making him the club’s all-time leading goalscorer ahead of the likes of Jimmy Greaves, Bobby Smith, Heung Min Son and Jermaine Defoe. He also showcased his creative ability with 61 assists which is the fourth most of any Spurs player in history. His tally of 213 Premier League goals leaves him just 47 short of the competition's all-time record goalscorer Alan Shearer with 260.
The 31-year-old, who is also England’s all-time leading goalscorer, helped Spurs reach a Champions League final and two League Cup finals while regularly securing European qualification. However, after failing to secure any form of silverware in North London, he departed for pastures new in a £100m move to Bayern Munich. The England captain is yet to win silverware in Germany, but has impressed with a staggering 70 goals and 22 assists in 72 matches across all competitions.
Harry Kane release clause revealed
TBR Football understands that Ruben Amorim’s team are one of the frontrunners to bring Harry Kane back to England this summer in a cut-price deal. Bild reporter Christian Falk claims that Kane has a release clause of £54m inserted into his Bayern Munich contract which comes into effect this summer.
Kane remains under contract with Bayern until 2027, but the outlet suggests the striker could look for an emotional return to English football in the near future to have a crack at beating Shearer’s long-standing record.
Manchester United have reportedly made Bayern aware of their interest while former club Spurs could also target a dream reunion with their fan favourite.
