Harry Kane Eyes Premier League Return – With Manchester United Leading the Race

Bayern Munich’s record-breaking striker could make a dramatic homecoming after the 2026 World Cup, but Spurs face stiff competition

England captain Harry Kane could be set for a blockbuster return to the Premier League in 2026, with Manchester United emerging as strong contenders to sign the Bayern Munich star.

Kane, who left Tottenham Hotspur in 2023 after becoming their all-time top scorer, finally lifted his first major trophy last season, helping Bayern claim the Bundesliga title. Despite his success in Germany—where he has netted a staggering 85 goals in 96 games—whispers of a Premier League comeback are growing louder ahead of next summer’s transfer window.

According to The Telegraph, Kane’s Bayern contract includes a release clause that diminishes yearly, potentially smoothing the path for a move after the 2026 World Cup. While Tottenham negotiated a first-option clause in his sale, allowing them to match any accepted bid, sources suggest United are currently in pole position.

The Red Devils, long-time admirers of Kane, explored a deal before his move to Bayern and remain in need of a world-class striker. A return to Spurs would be a fairytale reunion, but financial hurdles and United’s ambition could tilt the scales in their favor.

When asked about a potential return to England in April, Kane remained coy, telling ESPN: “I’m not someone who thinks too far ahead. I’m extremely happy here. But in football, things can change quickly.”

With his Premier League legacy still unfinished—just 52 goals shy of Alan Shearer’s all-time record—Kane’s next move could reshape the English football landscape. For now, Bayern remains his focus, but the pull of home grows stronger by the day.
