Munich: Harry Kane has expressed diminished interest in returning to the Premier League, stating that "the itch isn't there as much anymore" to pursue breaking the all-time scoring record in England. Kane, who left Tottenham Hotspur for Bayern Munich in 2023, remains 47 goals short of Alan Shearer's record of 260 goals in the Premier League.
According to Ghana Web, since his move to Munich, Kane has thrived, netting 73 goals last season for both club and country. With only a year left on his four-year contract, initially signed following his £86.4 million transfer from Spurs, Kane is preparing to discuss a new contract with Bayern Munich. The England captain emphasized his satisfaction in Munich, especially after receiving the Golden Shoe for finishing as the top scorer in the Bundesliga.
"When I first left, for sure it was something I thought - I would definitely be coming back. That itch isn't there as much anymore," Kane remarked. He expressed his contentment with life in Munich, appreciating the exposure to European football and highlighting the positive environment created by the team and manager. Kane added, "Never say never, but for now I am concentrating on Bayern Munich and we will see what the future holds."
Kane's remarkable performance last season, scoring 61 goals in 51 appearances, contributed to Bayern's league and cup double under manager Vincent Kompany. Kane credited Kompany, who took over Bayern in 2024, with enhancing his game significantly. "I think this is the best version of myself for sure," Kane stated, acknowledging the impact of Kompany's style of play and the freedom granted to players, reminiscent of his time under Mourinho at Tottenham.
Kane reflected on his evolving role, noting similarities in his playing style at Bayern and Tottenham, particularly his deep-lying playmaker role. He emphasized the synergy with his current teammates and the team's system under Kompany, which has propelled his performance to an elevated level.
