Harry Kane has revealed that a return to the Premier League is no longer a major priority, with the England captain admitting that his happiness at Bayern Munich has changed his perspective on his long-term future.
The 33-year-old striker had previously been expected to eventually return to English football after leaving Tottenham, but his latest comments suggest that a comeback may be much further away than originally anticipated.
Harry Kane admits Premier League return is no longer a priority
Speaking to journalist Henry Winter, Kane explained that returning to England was something he had expected to do when he initially left Tottenham in 2023.
However, his experience in Germany has changed those plans.
Kane said, via Fabrizio Romano:
“When I first left, for sure it was something that I thought I’d definitely be coming back. That itch isn’t there as much anymore. I’m extremely happy here in Munich.”

The Bayern forward also indicated that he remains fully aligned with the club’s ambitions under Vincent Kompany.
Rather than actively looking for a route back to England, Kane is now open to extending his stay in Bavaria and continuing his career in the Bundesliga.
That represents a significant shift from the expectation that he would eventually return to the Premier League.
