Harry Kane has a release clause in his existing Bayern Munich contract, a source has confirmed to ESPN.
German newspaper Bild has reported that the 31-year-old had an agreement which could have seen him leave the club this winter for around €80 million (€83.3m) and will be active again in January 2026 when the fee drops to €60m.
A source has told ESPN that the clause exists, although no specifics were outlined and it was stressed that Kane is happy at Bayern and has no desire to leave the Bundesliga team anytime soon.
Bild suggested that any club activating the clause in January 2026 would then trigger a transfer at the end of the 2025-26 season rather than immediately.
Kane is also 47 goals short of Alan Shearer’s all-time Premier League record of 260, although sources say he is settled at Bayern where he has continued to rack up prolific numbers, netting 70 times in 72 games.
It remains possible he could one day move elsewhere with MLS mooted as a possible destination.
Bild have suggested that Bayern have discussed potential future replacements for Kane which include Red Bull Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, who is also a long-term target for Arsenal.
