Manchester United are closely monitoring Harry Kane’s situation at Bayern Munich, with INEOS identifying the England captain as a key target. Kane’s potential return to the Premier League is like watching an ex on social media after they’ve moved abroad—you might not be planning anything now, but you’re definitely taking notes for later!
Kane’s Contract Details
- Kane’s contract at Bayern Munich includes a release clause that becomes active in 2026, starting at £56 million in January.
- At 32 years old, Kane remains a long-term interest for Manchester United, even though any moves this summer have been ruled out.
Former United chief scout Mick Brown disclosed that Kane is interested in returning to the Premier League, eyeing the chance to break Alan Shearer’s all-time goalscoring record.
Expert Analysis
Senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke noted:
>”If a player like Harry Kane is willing to come back to the Premier League, there will be clubs very much interested. The big question is which English club will be looking to bring him back to the Premier League? He’s the second-highest goalscorer in the Premier League behind Alan Shearer, so breaking that record might be in his mind.”
The release clause decreases as Kane’s contract nears its end, potentially making him available from January for around £56 million. However, his age remains a consideration as he will be 33 next season.
O’Rourke added:
>”Manchester United have consistently been linked with him, even in the last couple of seasons of his time at Tottenham before he moved to Bayern Munich. I’m sure that interest is still there because he has been a long-term target for them.”
Potential Moves and Other Transfers
- Interestingly, Tottenham could potentially re-sign Kane due to matching rights included in his deal when he joined Bayern in 2023.
- Meanwhile, United are also dealing with potential departures. Chelsea are pushing to sign Alejandro Garnacho, currently offering £40 million while United hold out for their £50 million valuation. Mick Brown indicated Chelsea are confident about reaching a deal and are actively working to make it happen.
For now, Kane’s focus remains on Bayern Munich, but come January, transfer talks are expected to heat up significantly.
