Harry Kane has never hidden his pride in leading England or his ambition to compete at the highest level. After a decade at Tottenham, he joined Bayern Munich in 2023 for around $95 million, seeking trophies many felt eluded him in North London. His move to Germany paid off quickly: 77 goals in 83 appearances, a six-point lead in the Bundesliga, and a real shot at Champions League glory.
Yet his name, once again, echoes around Anfield. Several reports claim Liverpool could be preparing a $100 million bid to entice him back to the Premier League, especially if Mohamed Salah departs. Former Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole urged his old club to consider such a move, saying, “If Mo Salah leaves, Liverpool will need a statement footballer, and Kane would be good there as he can score loads of goals and win trophies.” Alan Shearer also weighed in, telling UK media that Liverpool “will be looking for a center-forward in the summer,” and that Kane would be a strong fit.
A familiar call from England
Kane’s response remains measured. He has repeatedly declared himself “extremely happy” in Munich. “I’m not someone who likes to think too far ahead,” he told reporters, adding, “Ultimately my focus is here. I’m not thinking about any other league or any other team.” Those close to Kane insist there’s no urgency to rush home, but few dismiss the enduring appeal of a return. Even Shearer’s Premier League goals record remains a tangible prize if Kane plays in England again.
Bayern Munich, meanwhile, has little reason to let him go. Kane has been their main scorer and a talisman in crucial moments. He’s under contract until 2027, and rumors of a $54 million release clause have been downplayed. Kane sees his time in Germany as a chance to grow, especially after years at Spurs when title challenges flickered but often faded.
Liverpool fans are torn. The idea of a proven goalscorer leading the line is tempting, particularly if Darwin Núñez or Diogo Jota can’t find consistency. Some question the cost and Kane’s age—he turns 32 next summer. Others ask if he’d really swap the relative comfort of a dominant Bayern team for the unpredictable churn of the Premier League.
For now, Kane seems committed to life in Munich. He’s scoring, chasing trophies, and showing little sign of restlessness. But a front three at Anfield with his name on it remains a lingering thought. It may never happen, or it might shape one of the biggest transfers in recent memory. As Kane himself says, anything can happen in football. The only certainty is that the rumor mill, especially with a player of his stature, won’t stop spinning anytime soon.
