Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has indicated an openness to Harry Kane returning to the club, stating the England captain would be “more than welcome.” The comments come amid ongoing speculation about Kane’s long-term future at FC Bayern Munich, where he joined in August 2023.
Kane, 30, currently plays for bayern, but a potential return to his former club could hinge on his ambition to surpass Alan Shearer‘s Premier League goalscoring record. shearer holds the record with 260 goals-47 more than Kane has currently achieved. Should Kane return to England after the 2026 World cup, at age 33, he would have an prospect to challenge the longstanding mark.
Former bayern star Lothar Matthäus recently discussed the possibility of kane’s departure on Sky, suggesting the record chase could be a motivating factor. However, Matthäus believes Kane should complete his career with Bayern.”I don’t think the Shearer record is a motivation,” Matthäus stated. “He has done his homework in the Premier League and should thus end his career at FC bayern.”
As of september 23, 2025, Kane remains under contract with Bayern, but Postecoglou’s remarks introduce a new dynamic to the transfer discussion. The situation will likely intensify as Kane approaches the latter stages of his career and evaluates his options for achieving his goals.
