Harry Kane Premier League Return Rumors Spark Bayern Munich Teammate Reactions
Speculation is mounting regarding a potential Premier League comeback for England captain Harry Kane, and his Bayern Munich teammates have already voiced their admiration for the prolific striker. Kane, age 31, made a high-profile move to Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2023, with the transfer fee reportedly reaching €110 million (£91.7 million).
While his debut season in Germany saw an impressive व्यक्तिगत goal tally, Bayern Munich surprisingly ended the season without silverware. Despite Kane netting 44 goals in 45 appearances across all competitions, the Bavarian giants finished third in the Bundesliga table.
This season, Kane has continued his exceptional goal-scoring form, accumulating 32 goals in 37 appearances. His contributions are vital as Vincent Kompany’s Bayern side aims for the Bundesliga title and progresses through the Champions League knockout stages, currently in the quarter-finals.
Kane is now considered a strong contender for the prestigious 2025 Ballon d’Or award, joining other footballing stars like Vinicius Junior, Mohamed Salah, and Raphinha in the early discussions. However, if recent transfer reports gain traction, Kane might be playing his football back in the Premier League when the Ballon d’Or ceremony takes place in October.
Spanish news source El Nacional reports that Harry Kane is “seriously considering” a return to England’s top flight, with Liverpool Football Club emerging as the early frontrunners to secure his signature in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Adding fuel to the fire, German publication BILD previously indicated that Kane’s Bayern contract includes a potential “exit clause”. This clause could allow him to leave for a reported £64 million this summer, or £54 million in the winter transfer window, should he decide to depart the club.
While Harry Kane himself has remained silent on these swirling transfer rumors, the sentiments of his Bayern Munich teammates regarding the star forward are already clear and resoundingly positive.
Bayern Munich Players “In Awe” of Harry Kane’s Impact
According to a report by The Athletic from January 2024, Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich colleagues are “in awe” of the English international’s professionalism and influence. An unnamed source within the Bayern camp described Kane as “the perfect role model for everyone else,” highlighting his dedication to team success over personal accolades.

Adding to the praise, Bayern Munich icon Thomas Muller stated, “We’re so pleased we have him in the team.” Muller emphasized Kane’s overall impact, adding, “It’s just the experience. The moves and actions he’s made over his career weren’t left behind in England. He’s shown that with the utmost brilliance since he’s worn red and white.”
Young Bayern midfielder Jamal Musiala revealed his pleasant surprise at Kane’s exceptional standards, saying, “I expected high [standards] but not as high as he’s delivered so far, it’s even easier to play with him than I thought.” Musiala further elaborated on their on-field connection, “I feel very comfortable with Harry, he plays amazing passes. I can run in behind and he’ll find me.”
Earlier this month, Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany also lauded Kane’s consistent performance, remarking that the forward “has become better with age”. In a press conference, Kompany stated, “It helps when you have a top player who wants to run and fight for the team like a youth player. I played against him as an opponent, and he has become better with age. He has a way to work towards his performances.”
