Tottenham Hotspur’s chairman, Daniel Levy, has disclosed that the club has a buy-back clause in place that allows them to reacquire Harry Kane, even after his summer transfer to Bayern Munich for £100 million. This significant move took place just days before Spurs kicked off their Premier League campaign.
Upon Harry Kane’s signing of a four-year contract with Bayern, Spurs issued a comprehensive statement, expressing gratitude for his 19-year tenure at the club. The statement officially confirmed Harry Kane’s permanent transfer to Bayern Munich.
Within the statement, Daniel Levy’s comments were featured, in which he stated, “We made numerous efforts over an extended period to engage with Harry and his representatives regarding various contract extension options, both short and long term. Harry made it clear, however, that he was seeking a new challenge and would not be committing to a new contract this summer. Consequently, albeit reluctantly, we agreed to his transfer.”
Levy went on to acknowledge Kane’s remarkable achievements and records, underscoring the player’s exemplary professionalism both on and off the field throughout his lengthy association with the club. He described Kane as an inspirational figure for aspiring young players and expressed his gratitude for Kane’s contributions. He concluded with a warm sentiment, saying, “I’d like to thank Harry for everything he’s done for us, the memories, the records – we wish him and his family the very best for the future. It goes without saying that he is always welcome back. He remains a cherished and esteemed member of the Spurs family, forever etched in our history.”
Despite his new adventure at Bayern Munich, Harry Kane has continued to cast an eye on his former club and expressed his interest in their progress. As Tottenham, under Ange Postecoglou’s leadership, prepared for the North London Derby, Kane shared his thoughts, saying, “Tottenham has had a fantastic start. I always keep a close watch on them, and I believe I will continue to do so for the rest of my life.”
