Kane no longer feels same ‘itch’ to make Premier League return

BERLIN: Harry Kane has stated that the Premier League no longer captures his interest and he is solely focused on Bayern Munich, despite persistent rumors of a potential return to England. The 33-year-old left Tottenham Hotspur for Bayern in 2023 and has since won two Bundesliga titles, the German Cup, and the Supercup. Kane has been frequently linked with a move back to England, where he trails Alan Shearer's Premier League record of 260 goals by 47.

During an interview with FourFourTwo magazine, Kane revealed that his desire to return to England has diminished. "That itch isn't there as much anymore," he said, expressing his contentment in Munich. He emphasized that while he doesn't rule out a future return, for now, his attention is solely on Bayern Munich. Kane's contract ends next year, and talks regarding his future are expected to commence soon.

However, he stressed that neither party is in a hurry. Kane concluded the 2025-26 Bundesliga season with 36 goals, maintaining the league's top-scorer title and securing his second European Golden Shoe. He has scored a total of 146 goals in 147 appearances for Bayern, with 98 of those goals coming from 94 Bundesliga matches. Bayern Munich kick off their Bundesliga campaign against VfB Stuttgart on August 28.
