Harry Kane contract update comes as blow to Tottenham but there may still be hope

Wait 5 sec.

Tottenham fans are continuing to dream of Harry Kane returning to the club in the near future, but that dream may be about to receive a defining blow.During the summer transfer window, it was reported that Tottenham were keeping themselves informed of Kane’s situation, as the striker entered the final year of his contract.We are now a couple of months into the new season, and the England captain still has not put pen to paper on a new deal at the Allianz Arena, potentially raising Spurs fans’ hopes that a deal may be possible.Through the last few months, several reports have indicated that Bayern and Kane’s camp are locked in talks over a new deal, but that has not stopped the striker’s representatives from also holding discussions with other clubs.Photo by Luis Cano/Jam Media/Getty ImagesTottenham legend Harry Kane in ‘final stages’ of agreeing new Bayern Munich contractLast month, one source reported that Bayern are keen to finalise Kane’s new contract during the international break, and it appears that they are now set to achieve that goal.According to talkSPORT, the discussions between the 33-year-old’s representatives and the Bundesliga giants over a new deal are now in their final stages.The report confidently asserts that Kane is soon expected to sign a new three-year contract, which will see him commit his future to the Bavarian club until 2029.The website adds that should the Tottenham academy graduate sign the deal, he could be set to see out the remainder of his playing days at Bayern.Why Spurs may still have some hope of re-signing KaneEven if the England star puts pen to paper on a three-year deal at the German side, Tottenham’s chances of bringing him back to N17 may not be over.This is because it was reported by Bild last month that Kane’s camp want a release clause to be added to his new Bayern contract.Fabrizio Romano also revealed that talks between Bayern and Kane included what to do about the Tottenham matching rights clause.He said: “For Harry Kane, the negotiations and talks between Harry Kane, his brother Charlie, and Bayern over new deal are proceeding very well.“So, what now they are clarifying, according to my information, rather than the economical side, financially, the agreement is very close between Harry Kane and Bayern.“It’s about the length of the contract, how many years, how to sort that clause Harry Kane had in his contract for a Premier League return, for Tottenham matching rights.“So, they have something to clarify in terms of clauses, in terms of length of the contract, but already being almost there financially there, I think it’s a big news for Bayern, so really, really getting closer.”Spurs fans will be hoping that the striker still has a burning desire to return to the Premier League and break Alan Shearer’s all-time goals record, which the former Tottenham man is 47 goals short of.READ MORE: Who is Oscar Sandiford?
