Manchester United continue to be linked with Bayern Munich star Harry Kane
Manchester United target Harry Kane continues to thrive in Germany, and the mood around Bayern Munich reflects the admiration for his consistent impact. According to German journalist Christian Falk, writing in his CF Bayern Insider column, Kane has never looked sharper. His form in Munich has reached a peak that his long career in England never delivered.
Falk emphasised that Kane’s time at Bayern has given him new lessons, helped him refine his approach and sharpened the mentality that Bayern fans call “siegermentalität.” The head of sport, Max Eberl, remarked that Kane had been a star before stepping into the Allianz Arena, yet since joining, he has grown into a player who looks more decisive. This ability to score relentlessly has turned the 32-year-old into more than just a dependable striker; he has become a symbol of the club’s hunger to win.
Yet Kane still holds a long-term ambition of returning to the Premier League. Falk made clear that the England captain has his eyes on Alan Shearer’s Premier League record. The gap now stands at 47 goals, so a return stays on his mind. Kane might feel content at Bayern for now, but ambition often keeps such thoughts alive. This leaves open the idea of future movement even while he dominates in Germany.
“Harry Kane’s future is a big topic here in Munich. I think Kane is in the form of his life. His education at Bayern Munich has undoubtedly helped.
“Max Eberl, the head of sport, already said he’s improved at Bayern Munich. He was a big star before he came to the Allianz Arena, of course, but now he’s playing a little bit more like a winner.
“You know, this is the ‘siegermentalität’ in Germany, the DNA of Bayern Munich. He’s scoring and scoring and scoring.”
Could Manchester United try again for Kane?
Speculation about a Premier League return keeps rising with reports of a release clause in Kane’s contract. This clause, worth about £57 million, activates next summer if the English striker tells Bayern he wants to leave before the end of January. That figure could tempt several Premier League sides, especially as the chance to recruit a striker with his scoring record would rarely come at that price.
Manchester United, who have long admired him, appear near the top of the list. We reported earlier that reports linked United to Kane. They need a consistent forward because their current attack still lacks the criticality required at the highest level, even though Sesko scored in the recent 3-1 defeat to Brentford.
If United keep dropping points, their urgency to sign Kane could rise. Other clubs, including Tottenham, could also step in. Financially, the situation is not straightforward, since United’s heavy transfer expenditure in the last year makes another major deal difficult. Bayern keep insisting they want the 32-year-old to stay, which complicates any negotiations.
Much depends on the coming months. Another subplot is that Manchester United will let Jadon Sancho leave for free next summer. So, we have a lot to look forward to in 2026. In the end, Kane’s future hangs between loyalty to Bayern’s success and the lure of English football history.
