Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has revealed that a buy-back clause was included in Harry Kane’s transfer to Bayern Munich, valued at nearly £100 million, marking the end of his 19-year tenure with Spurs.
Levy confirmed the clause at a fans’ forum, offering hope that Kane’s departure might not be permanent, though specifics of the clause were not provided. Kane has expressed his ongoing affection for Tottenham, stating he will always follow the club.
Ahead of his Champions League debut for Bayern against Manchester United, Kane reaffirmed his lifelong support for Spurs and expressed joy over their current form.
However, his comments comparing Tottenham’s atmosphere to Bayern’s, suggesting that failing to win at Spurs “never felt like a disaster,” frustrated some fans.
Despite this, Kane’s emotional ties to Tottenham remain strong, and the buy-back clause ensures the possibility of his return.
This clause is a strategic move by Levy to potentially bring back one of the club’s greatest players if conditions permit.
Kane’s move to Bayern represents a new chapter, allowing him to compete at the highest levels of European football, including the Champions League. The transfer is seen as a step towards achieving the silverware that eluded him at Spurs.
The buy-back clause could play a crucial role in Tottenham’s future, potentially allowing them to re-sign Kane and boost their attacking options.
In the meantime, Tottenham will focus on competing without their former talisman under new management, while Kane aims to make an impact at Bayern Munich in domestic and European competitions.
