Harry Kane (32, Bayern Munich) is rumored to be returning to England.
Kane transferred to Bayern last season in pursuit of the trophy. No matter how many goals he scored at Tottenham, he was far from winning a trophy. His ambition to become the best in Europe at the top club led him to Bayern Munich.
His first season in Germany was not smooth. Kane scored an impressive 36 goals and became the top scorer, but Bayern Munich lost the Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen. Kane did not get the trophy he desired.
This season is different. Kane is leading the scoring race with 21 goals and 6 assists in 22 Bundesliga matches this season. Thanks to Kane's performance, Bayern Munich is at the top of the league with 61 points. Bayern is 8 points ahead of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen, making them the favorites to reclaim the league title.
In the rivalry against Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern has the upper hand. On the 6th, Bayern defeated second-placed Bayer Leverkusen 3-0. In the 30th minute of the second half, Kane scored the third goal to contribute to the victory. It was essentially a final with 6 points at stake.
Bayern again defeated Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, achieving a resounding victory in the rivalry. Bayern is advancing toward European conquest.
There have been claims that Kane might return to England if he wins a trophy in Germany. The Sun reported on the 12th, "If Kane wins a trophy with Bayern, there is a possibility he could return to the Premier League, as he has unfulfilled dreams in the Premier League."
The dream Kane desires is to become the all-time top scorer in the Premier League. Kane wants to surpass Alan Shearer's all-time Premier League record of 260 goals. Currently, Kane has scored 213 goals before transferring to Germany. If Kane scores just 47 more goals, he could surpass Shearer. With Kane's ability, this is a reachable figure in 2-3 seasons.
If a Premier League team wants to sign Kane this summer, they would have to pay a buyout amount of £67 million (about 126.3 billion won). Major clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea are currently showing interest.
The likelihood of Kane returning to his former team Tottenham is extremely low. Tottenham also does not wish for Kane's comeback due to the enormous cost involved. The Sun analyzed, "Kane has played nearly 20 years at Tottenham. He has scored an extraordinary 280 goals at Tottenham, making him the record-holder. However, glory has been far from his reach. It is questionable whether Tottenham would spend a large sum to bring Kane back."
Ultimately, a reunion between Son Heung-min and Kane seems unlikely. The two players are soul partners, having collaborated for the most goals in the Premier League. If they were to reunite, it would surely be happier to see them at Bayern than at Tottenham.
