Harry Kane celebrating a goal for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga
Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane is one of the most talked-about forwards in world football, and reports suggest that Barcelona are eyeing a move for the England captain. With a €65 million release clause in his contract and an outstanding goalscoring record, Kane has plenty to consider ahead of next summer.
After the departure of Robert Lewandowski in 2022, Bayern struggled to replace the prolific striker. The €100 million signing of Kane from Tottenham in 2023 finally filled the void, with club legend Lothar Matthaus now admitting he sees Kane as one of the best strikers in the world.
Barcelona, still on the hunt for a world-class forward, reportedly view Kane as the ideal replacement for Lewandowski, while Bayern remain relaxed as long as the striker is happy in Munich.
From a sporting perspective, Kane’s 2025-26 campaign could hardly be better. Bayern are unbeaten and top of both the Bundesliga and the Champions League, thanks in large part to Kane’s 24 goals in 18 appearances across all competitions—more than any other player in Europe’s ‘Big Five’ leagues.
Despite the absence of stars like Jamal Musiala, Bayern’s squad depth—featuring Luis Diaz, Michael Olise, and 17-year-old Lennart Karl—has allowed Kane and the team to maintain their dominant form.
Off the pitch, Kane and his family are thriving in Germany. Moving from London to Munich initially raised concerns, but the family has adapted well to the culture and enjoys a high degree of privacy. Kane himself has praised the warm reception from locals and expressed comfort in his current situation.
He has also left the door open to extending his contract, which currently runs until 2027:
“We can certainly talk about that. I have almost two years left, so it’s not like I’m in the final year. I’m fine, the club is fine, and we’re happy.”
Despite ongoing transfer rumours linking him with Barcelona, Kane remains focused on Bayern Munich and the upcoming World Cup. When asked about the speculation, he confirmed:
“I haven’t had any contact with anyone, nobody has contacted me. I feel very comfortable in the current situation… there’s no rush. I’m really happy in Munich.”
With Bayern performing at the highest level and Kane in sensational form, any potential move will depend as much on timing and opportunity as on desire.
