The England captain stated that his desire to rejoin the Premier League has waned; thus, Harry Kane is thinking about staying longer at Bayern Munich.

With 18 goals in 10 games, Kane has gotten off to a quick start at Bayern, helping the German champions defend their Bundesliga crown. The 32-year-old is "totally all in" ahead of potential negotiations for a new contract. He has scored 103 goals in 106 appearances for Bayern and is under contract in Munich until 2027.

Kane, who has reported for England duty ahead of a friendly match against Wales and a World Cup qualifying match in Latvia, stated, "I could definitely see that in terms of staying longer."

"I made it clear a few weeks ago that I have not had those discussions with Bayern yet, but I would be open to speaking and having an open discussion if they came up.

"Obviously, it depends on how things go over the course of the next year and what we accomplish as a team. I think we are in a great moment right now, and I am not considering anything else.

It was anticipated that Kane would return to England after leaving Tottenham in 2023 in an attempt to shatter the Premier League goalscoring record.

To surpass Alan Shearer's record of 260 goals, he needs 48.

Thomas Frank, the manager of Tottenham, recently expressed his desire to see the team's all-time top scorer return to north London.

"I am not sure about the Premier League. Kane, who reportedly has a £57 million ($66 million) release clause in his Bayern contract, continued, "If you had asked me when I originally left to go to Bayern, I would have said for sure I would come back."

Now that I have been there for a few years, I would say that it has somewhat decreased, but I would not say I would never return.

Throughout my profession, I have discovered that various possibilities and times arise, and everything works itself out. Returning to my initial point with Bayern, I am currently totally committed to the team. According to a recent statement by Christoph Freund, sporting director of Bayern Munich, his team is "possibly watching the best version of Harry Kane there has ever been."

England's top scorer has improved even more as a result of Kane's long-awaited first big prize, the Bundesliga, which he won with Bayern last season.

It might be simple to turn around and say, "Okay, I have accomplished what I set out to do," after winning a title like I did the previous year, Kane remarked.

However, it has inspired me to work harder and improve. This year, I believe I have demonstrated that.

"I wanted to see how I would feel when I took home a trophy. It goes without saying that I still have a lot more to accomplish in terms of obtaining additional and larger awards.

BAYERN MUNICH HELD: VUSKOVIC AND VIEIRA STUN KOMPANY IN A WILD 2-2 HAMBURG DRAW

Luka Vuskovic and Fabio Vieira shine as Hamburg hold Bayern Munich to a 2-2 draw. Read the full Bundesliga match analysis here.

Vincent Kompany’s rotation is hurting Bayern

Bayern Munich dropped points again in the Bundesliga, settling for a 2-2 draw against Hamburg up north. Harry Kane and Luis Diaz both found the net for Bayern, who took the lead after Fabio Vieira had put Hamburg ahead with a first-half penalty. But Luka Vuskovic, who was everywhere for the hosts, powered in a header to snatch a well-earned point in a wild game at Volksparkstadion.

Early on, Bayern tried to quiet down the home crowd and pushed hard for the first goal. Still, it was Hamburg who struck first. About 30 minutes in, Nicolai Remberg beat Joshua Kimmich to a loose ball and drew a foul from the German midfielder. Fabio Vieira, on loan from Arsenal, coolly slotted the penalty past Manuel Neuer and into the bottom corner.

Bayern didn’t waste much time. Within ten minutes, Serge Gnabry slipped behind the defence and whipped in a cross. Kimmich’s awkward shot landed at Kane’s feet, and the England captain smashed it home. Kompany threw on Luis Diaz at halftime, and it paid off instantly. Diaz finished off a slick pass from Olise less than a minute after coming on.

Hamburg weren't rattled, though. Just eight minutes into the second half, Vuskovic muscled past Alphonso Davies and hammered in a header from William Mikelbrencis’ cross. Hamburg almost took the lead when Neuer fluffed a clearance, leaving Vieira with an open goal, but Davies raced back to clear it off the line. Bayern pushed for a winner and shouted for a couple of penalties, but the referee wasn’t having it. In the end, both sides walked away with a point.

Standout player? Luka Vuskovic, no question. The Croatian centre-back, on loan from Tottenham, gave Hamburg steel at the back and kept Kane pretty quiet. His equaliser—already his fourth of the season—showed a hunger and skill Spurs have been missing lately.

On the flip side, Vincent Kompany has to take some heat. The Bayern boss did well bringing on Diaz, but you wonder if starting him would’ve made the difference. Bayern had the lead but couldn’t finish the job, and Hamburg deserved their share of the spoils.

HARRY KANE REVEALS HIS "FAVORITE GERMAN DISH" IS ACTUALLY A REWARD FOR SCORING

It’s a ritual! Harry Kane reveals how local chef Stefan Kastner delivers free veal schnitzels for every goal he scores for Bayern.

Harry Kane gets free dinners for every Bayern Munich goal

Every time Harry Kane scores for Bayern Munich, he gets a free dinner—no joke. There’s this local pub owner who drops off a schnitzel for every goal Kane bangs in for the German champs.

The man behind this tradition? Stefan Kastner, chef and superfan, runs the Buchenhain Forest Inn. He doesn’t just send the food—he actually drives out himself to Kane’s place and hands it over. Kastner’s from Baierbrunn, a suburb just outside Munich, and he swears his schnitzels give Kane that extra push on the pitch.

Kane, by the way, calls these deliveries a “ritual”. He even lets Kastner—everyone calls him the “Schnitzel Guy”—swing by past security whenever he’s due for a drop-off. With the way Kane’s scoring, that’s happening a lot.

Funny thing, though—Kane’s strict about his diet. No chips, ever. Kastner says, “At first, I just did it as a fan. Now, it’s a real tradition. I’ve been at this for over a year, and I’d say we’re up to 50 or 60 schnitzels so far. I don’t deliver one after every single goal. I wait until he’s scored a couple, then I drive over, usually around six in the evening. Lately, I wait for two goals before making the trip. Then I bring a veal schnitzel with roasted potatoes, plus another with potato salad.”

When the local paper TZ ran the story, Kane owned up—he loves schnitzels. “It’s turned into a ritual. It’s lovely. Honestly, it’s probably my favourite dish in Germany. Some people say it’s Austrian or Bavarian, but either way, it’s my top pick since moving here.”

He’s quick to admit he doesn’t eat every single one. “They get delivered, and my family or whoever’s at the house digs in. It helps us feel like we’re part of the community,” he says.

“And really, this was Stefan’s idea. I doubt he thought I’d score this many goals. But, yeah, it’s just a good story. It feels right.”
