Harry Kane said he no longer feels the desire to return to the Premier League and is focused on Bayern Munich.
The statement settles ongoing speculation regarding the England captain's future and signals a long-term commitment to the German club. For the Premier League, the news removes one of the most high-profile potential transfers from the market.
Speaking during a press briefing in Germany, Kane addressed the notion of a homecoming to England. He said, "The itch isn’t there anymore." The 33-year-old [1] striker noted that the English top flight does not hold the same appeal for him as it once did.
Kane said, "The Premier League doesn’t have the same draw for me as it used to."
Since leaving Tottenham in 2023 [1], Kane has established himself as a central figure in the Bundesliga. He has scored 146 career goals for the club [2]. His tenure in Germany has also been marked by silverware, including two Bundesliga titles [1].
In addition to the league titles, Kane has won one German Cup [1], and one German Supercup [1]. These achievements underscore his successful transition from English football to the German league.
Beyond the trophies, the striker is currently prioritizing his club career and upcoming contract negotiations with Bayern Munich. He said his focus remains on his current role and the goals he aims to achieve in Germany.
“"The itch isn’t there anymore."”
Kane's decision to remain in Germany reflects a shift in his career priorities toward securing major European trophies and establishing a legacy outside of England. By shutting down return rumors, he provides Bayern Munich with stability in their attacking line and simplifies the club's long-term planning regarding contract renewals.
