Harry Kane isn’t ruling out a return to the Premier League. However, the striker still has a major athletic goal to achieve at FC Bayern.
Harry Kane has committed to FC Bayern for the long term. Nevertheless, a return to England later in his career remains a possibility for the forward. In an interview with Sport BILD, the 33-year-old explicitly leaves the door open to the Premier League—but makes his current priorities just as clear.
“I would never rule out breaking the Premier League scoring record at some point. But right now, that’s not my main focus,” Kane explains.
The record is held by Alan Shearer with 260 goals. Before his move to Munich, Kane scored 213 Premier League goals for Tottenham. To surpass the record, he would have to play in England again at some point. However, he does not mention a specific plan or timeline for a return.
Kane wants to win the Champions League with Bayern
For now, his priorities are clear: “My focus right now is on Bayern. We have a great team and a fantastic coach, and I’m extremely happy here,” he said.
Kane has already underscored this stance with his contract extension through the summer of 2029. Most recently, he also publicly emphasized his desire to remain with the German record champions for a long time to come. His open speculation about England is therefore not an announcement of an imminent departure.
On the field, Kane wants to achieve even more in Munich: “Above all, we want to win the Champions League, continue to dominate the Bundesliga, and defend the titles we won last season.”
The European title, in particular, holds special significance for the Englishman: “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to win the Champions League at least once with Bayern,” Kane said. Success with this team would be a special experience for him.
His vision for the coming years also makes it clear what goals drive him. When asked what he hopes to have achieved by the time of his next interview in five years, he replies: “In five years, I’d like to have won the Champions League at least once with Bayern and a title with England.”
In addition to the athletic opportunities, his personal life also speaks in favor of Munich. Kane and his family feel completely at home in their new city. In the same interview, he raves about life in the city and the warm welcome he’s received from fans and locals.
A future pursuit of Shearer’s record thus remains a possibility. For now, however, Kane wants to achieve his remaining goals with FC Bayern.
