Rejoining Spurs in the event of departing Bayern would be the emotional choice for Kane, having opted to leave his boyhood club in 2023 in pursuit of trophies. Romano explained that a release clause only active last month made the 31-year-old available for a fixed €80 million (£67m/$83m) during the January transfer window. There will be no such clause in the summer, but another in January 2026 will set the price even lower, although Kane will be halfway to his 33rd birthday by then and into the final 18 months of Bayern contract.
WHAT FABRIZIO ROMANO SAID
"There's one more clause for next year, which is only available in January 2026 and worth €65m," Romano told . "It won't be possible to proceed with the clause in summer 2026, but that clause could set the price in case some club decides to enter the race after the USA World Cup. It's one to watch, for sure. Don't forget about Tottenham, as they have matching rights for Harry Kane. At any moment, if Bayern receive a bid, Spurs will be informed and can match the proposal to bring Kane back – if they want to."
DID YOU KNOW?
Manchester United are at least not expected to be in for Kane. Romano added that, while co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is believed to be a fan of the forward, he doesn't fit with the club's new strategy of targeting younger players and lowering wages.
