Kane plays down returning to Premier League in future

Harry Kane says "the itch isn't there as much anymore" to one day return to England from Germany and try and break the all-time scoring record in the Premier League.

Kane plays down returning to Premier League in future

Harry Kane has downplayed any desire to return to England's Premier League in the future, despite previously expressing a keen interest in breaking the all-time scoring record there. The England captain joined Bayern Munich in 2023, already possessing 213 goals in the English top flight, 47 short of the Premier League's all-time leader Alan Shearer's tally of 260.

Kane has been in excellent form since his move to Germany, netting 73 goals for club and country last season. He is set to enter contract negotiations with Bayern after the end of his current four-year deal. Kane credits his family, team, and manager for his contentment at Bayern, stating he is in the best possible environment. While he acknowledges the possibility of returning to the Premier League at some point, Kane is currently focused on Bayern Munich's success, crediting manager Vincent Kompany for elevating his own game to new heights.
