Kane’s Bayern future in doubt as €80m release clause emerges

The future of Harry Kane at Bayern Munich could take a drastic turn in the summer transfer window, with reports suggesting the English striker has a €80 million release clause that could facilitate an exit from the Bavarian club.

According to Bild, Kane’s contract includes a provision that would allow him to leave Bayern for €80 million this summer, potentially paving the way for a Premier League return or a new challenge in European football.

Bayern signed Kane in 2023 as their marquee attacking reinforcement following Robert Lewandowski’s departure, banking on his prolific goal-scoring ability to lead the team.

While the 31-year-old has delivered individually—establishing himself as one of the Bundesliga’s top scorers—the club has yet to achieve the major silverware he desires.

Bild further reports that Kane’s release clause will decrease to €65 million in 2026, just one year before his contract expires. This could encourage Premier League clubs to start planning bids sooner rather than later to avoid losing out on a top-tier striker at a discounted price.

Kane still has several years of elite football ahead of him and remains focused on winning major titles. However, if lucrative offers arrive, the transfer market could test his commitment to Bayern.

With a clear release price set, speculation surrounding his future is only expected to intensify in the coming months.
