German journalist Christian Falk has provided a huge update on Harry Kane’s future and the release clause in his Bayern Munich contract, which comes as a big blow to any hopes Tottenham Hotspur may have had about luring the striker back to the club at the end of the season.If you have followed Spurs Web’s coverage over recent weeks, you would be aware that speculation linking Kane with a return to the Premier League has gone into hyperdrive.It first emerged at the start of this month that Harry Kane’s contract has an exit clause of £54m, which can be activated this summer.Reports over the last couple of weeks have claimed that Spurs have not ruled out the possibility of making a shock move to bring Kane back to N17.Meanwhile, many in the media have even put forward an unlikely suggestion that Arsenal may vie for Harry Kane’s signature in the summer, given how desperate the Gunners are for a top-class number nine.Photo: Tottenham HotspurTottenham heartbreak as Harry Kane 2025 release clause expiresHowever, Christian Falk, writing in his Daily Briefing, has provided a big update on Kane’s release clause which pours cold water over suggestions that he could return to England in the summer.The journalist explains that the England captain’s clause has already expired, which means that any club which wishes to sign him will have to negotiate a fee with Bayern Munich.This is because Kane has snubbed the chance to use the exit clause as he is happy at the Allianz Stadium and is not considering a summer move.Falk explains that another exit clause will now become valid in January of 2026, and if activated, the striker can leave for a lower fee in the summer of next year.Kane was never going to leave Bayern after just two seasonsKane went to Bayern to win loads of trophies, and he clearly still has unfinished business in Bavaria as the club goes in pursuit of the Bundesliga and Champions League titles this campaign.The former Tottenham Hotspur man is likely to end his career back in the Premier League (preferably at Spurs), but he would want a lot of medals to show for his time in Munich so that his legacy cannot be questioned.A return to the Premier League might be a much more realistic option in the summer of 2026, particularly since his current deal at the club runs out in 2027.Harry Kane: Bayern Munich (2024-25) vs Tottenham Hotspur (2022-23)CompetitionBundesligaPremier LeagueAppearances2138Goals2130Expected Goals (xG)16.1021.46Goals per game1.00.8Goal conversion27%23%Goals inside box19/6427/98Goals outside box2/143/32Headed goals310The post Harry Kane's 2025 release clause has already expired amid Tottenham links appeared first on Spurs Web.
