Kane Doubles Down in Munich: Bayern Staying Put While Barcelona Eyes Comeback
28 November 2025
Kane signals commitment to Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich have received highly positive signals from their English striker Harry Kane about his future with the club, a move that reassures management and fans.
According to the Bayern Insider podcast, Kane told the club he does not intend to trigger the release clause in his contract next summer, which would allow him to leave for 65 million euros.
Barcelona linked, but Kane's stance shifts the transfer mood
Speculation has grown that Barcelona could sign Kane to replace Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, whose contract ends in 2026, but current indicators suggest the Spanish club will likely pass due to Kane's clear desire to stay at Bayern.
Club conditions and timeline
In a Bild report, Kane said he has not spoken to anyone about a move and feels comfortable in the current situation, making a departure not on his agenda right now.
German journalist Christian Falk noted that Bayern and Kane's representatives agreed not to start renewal talks until the release clause expires on January 31. Any club wishing to sign him next summer must trigger the clause before that date.
Kane's impact and Bayern's outlook
Kane, 32, has been a fixture in Munich since joining from Tottenham in 2023, scoring 24 goals in 19 games this season with 3 assists, cementing his status as a key attacker.
As momentum builds for a potential extension to 2027, Max Eberl says Kane is happy in Munich and is loved there, reinforcing Bayern's confidence in keeping him beyond 2026.
With these signals, Bayern Munich appears poised to keep its star while Barcelona's hopes fade, leaving Kane as a Bavarian mainstay on the domestic and European stage.
Punchline: Staying in Munich is Kane’s solid thumbs-up—no drama, just goals.
Punchline 2: Barcelona might need a calendar with infinite pages if they think Kane is walking away this summer.
