‘He Can Win Titles With Us!’ – Bayern Munich Fire Back at Harry Kane Transfer Talk After Tottenham Links

Thomas Frank Says Harry Kane Is ‘More Than Welcome’ at Tottenham

The idea of Harry Kane returning to Tottenham refuses to die. Ever since the England captain swapped north London for Bavaria in 2023, Spurs fans have clung to the hope that one day their greatest-ever goalscorer would walk back into the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and finish his story where it all began.

Those whispers grew louder this week when Tottenham boss Thomas Frank—fielding questions about the possibility of Kane coming back—did little to shut them down. Instead, the Danish manager poured fuel on the speculation, insisting that Kane would be “more than welcome” should he ever want to rejoin the Premier League giants.

Frank’s comments may have been delivered casually, but they cut deep into the heart of Spurs supporters. After all, this is not just any player—they are talking about a striker who scored 280 goals for the club, carried them to a Champions League final, and defined an entire era.

Yet the reality is starkly different. Kane is not struggling abroad, longing for home. Quite the opposite—he is thriving in Germany, rewriting records at Bayern Munich and adding trophies to his collection.

Bayern’s Response to Harry Kane’s Transfer Speculation

It didn’t take long for Bayern to respond. At a pre-match press conference, sporting director Max Eberl was quick to underline the club’s stance on Kane’s future.

“He wants to win titles, and he can do that with us. Our wish is to be very successful with Harry,” said Eberl, brushing aside any talk of release clauses or premature exits.

It was a measured but firm message: Bayern see Kane as a cornerstone of their present and future. The Bavarians, who are chasing another Bundesliga crown and have started the 2025-26 season with a perfect record, have no intention of letting their most reliable goalscorer slip away.

Coach Vincent Kompany, who has overseen Bayern’s seamless start, chose to remain tight-lipped on the transfer chatter but echoed similar sentiments about Kane’s importance.

“Harry is in an excellent phase. The last thing I want is to open the door to other discussions,” Kompany told reporters.

Vincent Kompany’s View: A Different Harry Kane

Interestingly, Kompany offered a more nuanced take when pressed on how Kane has evolved as a player. Having faced the Englishman multiple times during his Manchester City days, the Belgian admitted that Kane is no longer the same striker he once was.

“They are two different players, the way I saw him then and the way I see him now,” Kompany said. “I think Harry has made a decision to open up his game more. This allows him to sometimes escape the attention of defenders and still score. I like having him in a position where he can score goals, but at the moment, it’s working very well.”

Kompany’s analysis reveals a key truth: Kane has adapted. No longer just a penalty-box poacher, he has embraced the role of creator as well as finisher. His movement, passing range, and vision have made him indispensable to Bayern’s multi-pronged attack.

Harry Kane’s Time at Bayern Munich

To fully grasp why Bayern are so protective of Kane, you only need to look at his record since arriving in Bavaria.

Signed in the summer of 2023 for over €100 million, Kane immediately became the Bundesliga’s most expensive signing. But more importantly, he justified every cent.

• In his debut Bundesliga campaign, he scored 36 league goals, claiming the European Golden Shoe.

• He shattered records, including the fastest player to reach 50 Bundesliga goals.

• By 2025, he had already netted over 90 goals in just 100 appearances across all competitions.

• He guided Bayern to the 2024-25 Bundesliga title, the first major trophy of his career.

• Along the way, he became the highest-scoring Englishman in Champions League history.

For Kane, who had spent years at Tottenham without silverware, Bayern represented a dream realised. Not only is he competing for titles every season, but he is also cementing his legacy as one of Europe’s deadliest forwards.

The Release Clause Question

Adding intrigue to the story is the revelation that Kane’s contract reportedly includes a €64 million (£56m/$76m) release clause that could be triggered next year. For Spurs supporters, that clause has become the glimmer of hope that a return might actually be possible.

But Bayern have no intention of letting that technicality become a distraction. Eberl’s strong words suggest the club views Kane as untouchable, regardless of clauses or speculation. As long as Kane keeps scoring—and he shows no signs of slowing down—Bayern will fight to keep him.

Thomas Frank’s Diplomatic Play

It’s worth noting that Thomas Frank’s comments were not necessarily a transfer pitch, but rather a diplomatic nod to Tottenham’s fans. He acknowledged the bond between Kane and Spurs, while also conceding that the striker appears content at Bayern.

“I think he’s doing really well there, and I don’t see him thinking about moving back to England at the moment,” Frank admitted. “But should he want to rejoin the club, he would be more than welcome.”

For Spurs, the dream of Kane’s return is as much about emotion as it is about football. He is their greatest-ever player, a symbol of loyalty in the modern game, and his departure left a void that no replacement has filled.

Bayern’s Winning Streak and Kane’s Role

Beyond the off-field speculation, Bayern are currently flying. Kompany’s men have racked up a seven-game win streak across all competitions, blending ruthless efficiency with defensive solidity. Kane, unsurprisingly, has been central to that run, linking play, scoring crucial goals, and lifting the team’s confidence.

Their next test comes against Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on September 26, before flying to Cyprus for a Champions League clash with Pafos on September 30. Both fixtures present Kane with fresh opportunities to add to his already staggering numbers.

Conclusion: Kane’s Legacy in the Balance

So, will Kane ever return to Tottenham? Possibly—but not anytime soon. For now, the idea seems more rooted in nostalgia than reality. At Bayern, Kane is achieving everything he longed for in north London: trophies, records, and the recognition of being among the very best.

Bayern’s message could not be clearer: “He can win titles with us.” That is the offer Tottenham could never fully provide, and it’s the reason why Kane’s present—and likely his future—remains in Germany.

For Spurs fans, the hope will always remain alive. But for now, Kane’s chapter in Bavaria is still being written, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most successful periods of his remarkable career.
