Harry Kane has signalled that a longer stay at Bayern Munich is a real possibility, saying his appetite to return to the Premier League has reduced since his move. The striker left Spurs 47 goals short of Alan Shearer’s total of 260, and his Bayern contract included a release clause that fed speculation about a future return. Former employers Spurs and long-term admirers Manchester United were linked as potential suitors, but Kane has cooled talk of leaving Bayern.

“In terms of staying longer, I could definitely see that,” Kane said of his time with Bayern. “I have not had those conversations with Bayern yet but if they were to arise I would be willing to talk and have an honest conversation. Obviously it depends on how the next year or so goes, what we achieve together. We are in a fantastic moment and I am not thinking about anything else.

“In terms of the Premier League , I don’t know. If you had asked me when I first left to go to Bayern, I would have said for sure I would come back. Now I have been there a couple of years I would probably say that has gone down a little bit, but I wouldn’t say I would never go back.

“I am fully all in with Bayern . If there was a conversation about extending then we will see, but I have still got this season and another season. It is not like I am in my last year, it is not like there is any panic. I am calm, I love the manager at Bayern and as long we are improving and I am improving then I am happy to see what we can achieve.”

Kane, now 32, said winning his first trophy did not dent his drive. “When you win a title maybe it could be easy to go the other way and be like, ‘OK, I’ve done what I wanted to achieve,’” Kane continued. “But it’s given me motivation to do more.

“My numbers are 11km a game, a lot of high‑speed running. Sometimes when I’m watching the games back, I’m more looking forward to watching tackles or one of my defensive actions than watching my goals back. I don’t know if that means I’m getting a little bit bored of my goals or I like the tackling part as well but it’s been enjoyable.

“I was interested in how I would feel after winning a trophy. It could have been easy to be a bit more relaxed. I pushed myself the other way, being even better, eating even cleaner, doing more gym. I do eat clean anyway. It’s just whether the cheat meals after games are not so much, or when you’re out with the family not having as much ice cream. Small details, but at the highest level those make a big difference.”

His form underlines that stance: 18 goals in 10 games this season and a record for the fewest games to reach 100 goals for one club in Europe’s top divisions, a mark previously held by Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland.

Real Madrid have reportedly become suitors for Crystal Palace centre back Marc Guéhi, joining Liverpool, Barcelona and Bayern Munich in a growing list of interested clubs. Guéhi is in the final 12 months of his contract with Crystal Palace and attracted transfer attention after a move to Merseyside collapsed on deadline day last month.

The centre back had reportedly agreed personal terms with Liverpool, but Palace were unable to find an adequate replacement and the transfer fell through. The England international remains one of the most sought after players on the market. While a January departure is viewed as unlikely, his status as a free agent in June could open the door for a move to one of Europe’s biggest teams.

Real Madrid had Ibrahima Konaté at the top of their list, but after William Saliba signed a contract extension with Arsenal the 15-time European champions are reportedly exploring other options, with Guéhi emerging as a candidate. The club added Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen and Álvaro Carreras this past summer, yet sources say they still aim to bring in at least one defensive reinforcement for 2026.

Both Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba are in the final 12 months of their contracts and, according to reports, the club has not moved to offer extensions to either player. Should those veterans depart next summer, Real Madrid would be left with just three first-team centre backs. With Éder Militão’s history of injuries and Raúl Asencio’s inconsistent performances, the club may seek a physically strong, reliable centre back for the 2026–27 season.

Guéhi fits the profile outlined by the reports, but Real Madrid will face competition and a persuasive challenge. The England international was, according to recent coverage, just hours away from joining Liverpool in September, suggesting any suitor will have to overcome strong interest and recent near-misses to secure his signing.

Bayern Munich’s sporting leadership moved to limit speculation over Harry Kane’s future after recent comments from two directors and another prolific performance by the striker.

Sporting director Christoph Freund said he can “easily imagine” Kane remaining in Bavaria and even extending his time at the club. The remark followed an earlier, more dismissive line from Max Eberl, who noted the 32-year-old is “old enough to make his own decisions.”

Freund offered supporters stronger reassurance while pointing to Kane’s current form. “We’re probably witnessing the best version of Harry Kane there has ever been,” Freund told Sky Germany. “He’s a perfect player for us, and Harry feels very comfortable in Munich, with the team and his family. That’s why we hope he’ll stay in Munich for a few more years.”

Kane arrived from Spurs in a club-record move worth €100 million and signed until 2027. He will be 34 when that contract expires, but Bayern clearly value his fitness and finishing output. Freund tempered talk of negotiations with caution. “It’s still too early to discuss it in detail,” he warned. “I think both sides can easily imagine continuing together beyond the end of the current contract.”

On the field Kane continued his remarkable start to the campaign against Eintracht Frankfurt, scoring a crisp finish and becoming the first player in Bundesliga history to reach 11 goals in the opening six weeks of a season. He was forced off late in the 3–0 victory, hobbling out with five minutes of normal time remaining, which prompted concern over his availability for England.

Kane addressed those concerns after the match: “I’ll be recovering for now. I took a bit of a knock. Give it a few days, then everything should be fine again. There should be no problem for the national team. I’ll be there on Monday.”

For now Bayern’s hierarchy have offered a combination of realism and optimism: a desire to keep their No. 9, matched by a cautious approach to any formal contract discussion.
