Harry Kane’s Ballon d’Or is being celebrated universally by the Tottenham fan base, but the club will not benefit financially from his historic win.The reaction to Kane’s 2026 Ballon d’Or win has shown how high a regard the striker is held in by everyone associated with Spurs.The 33-year-old has been at Tottenham since the age of eleven, and went on to become the club’s record goalscorer, and many fans are filled with pride at seeing one of their own crowned as the best player in the world.As Spurs Web have covered previously, plenty of Kane’s former Spurs teammates have expressed jubilation on social media, showing the kind of teammate and character he was during his time at N17.Photo by FRANCK FIFE / AFP via Getty ImagesTottenham did not add a Ballon d’Or clause to Harry Kane’s sale contractSpurs sold Kane to Bayern for £100m back in 2023 at a time when he had just a year left on his deal, and that fee now looks a massive bargain for the German side.There have been some rumours going around on social media that the Lilywhites may have added a potential add-on clause concerning the striker winning the Ballon d’Or.However, Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg has now confirmed that no such clause is in Kane’s contract, with Bayern not obligated to pay Spurs any fee for the England captain’s achievement.From a shred operator like Daniel Levy, this seems like a bit of a blunder. Even Plettenberg describes such clauses as being ‘almost standard’ in deals for superstars these days, but Tottenham have missed out.Plettenberg wrote on X: “Understand Tottenham have NO Ballon d’Or bonus clause included in €100m deal with FC Bayern for Harry Kane in 2023. Bayern will not have to pay Spurs any additional fee for this achievement.“Such clauses have become almost standard in deals involving top talents and superstars. They are considered ‘difficult bonus payments’ and can trigger additional payments worth millions. Other bonus payments linked to domestic titles or winning the Champions League are part of the Kane deal.”🚨❌ Understand Tottenham have NO Ballon d’Or bonus clause included in €100m deal with FC Bayern for Harry Kane in 2023.Bayern will not have to pay Spurs any additional fee for this achievement.Such clauses have become almost standard in deals involving top talents and superstars.
