Barça rumours swirl around Harry Kane: should Bayern be worried?

A rumor has emerged in Spain about a possible transfer of Harry Kane to FC Barcelona. Do FC Bayern fans need to worry now?

A surprising rumor is causing a stir in Spain—and raising eyebrows in Munich: According to the Catalan newspaper SPORT , Bayern striker Harry Kane is considering a possible move to FC Barcelona. But the facts clearly speak against it.

The Spanish paper reports that Kane could leave FC Bayern as early as next summer. The background is said to be a release clause in his contract, which runs until 2027, allowing the Englishman to depart for a fixed fee of 65 million euros—but only until January 31, 2026.

This clause is indeed part of the contract, as several media outlets have reported in the past. However, to infer from this that Kane is seeking a transfer is pure speculation.

According to Sky and BILD , there is nothing to the rumor.

In fact, the superstar himself has repeatedly emphasized in recent weeks that he is not considering a possible departure. In an interview with the Guardian , Kane said: “We are currently in a fantastic phase and I’m not thinking about anything else.”

He also responded clearly to the recurring rumors about a return to England: “That’s not on my mind at the moment.”

Kane’s focus is fully on FC Bayern—and his words make that clear.

At the end of September, shortly after his 100th goal in the record champion’s jersey, Kane was asked whether he wanted to score his next 100 goals in Munich as well: “Yes, here in Munich.”

When asked about a possible contract extension, he added: “I still have almost two years left on my contract. So it’s not like I’m in my last contract year and everyone is panicking. I think the club is happy with me and I’m happy with the club. So yes, those talks can happen. They haven’t happened yet. But when they do, we’ll have an open and honest conversation—about where I stand and where the club’s future lies. All I can say is that we’re heading in the right direction and I’m happy about that.”

Internally, there also appears to be calm. According to Sport BILD , sporting director Max Eberl and the club’s management are firmly convinced that Kane will stay in Munich long-term. Concrete talks about an extension are only expected to begin after the release clause expires at the end of January 2026.

In addition to the sporting success under coach Vincent Kompany, who recently extended his contract until 2029, Kane’s private environment also speaks for staying. The Englishman and his family feel completely at home in Munich—a key factor for the father of four.
