Real Madrid and Barcelona could rival Tottenham for Bayern Munich star

Tottenham would not have a free run at Harry Kane

Thomas Frank has fuelled speculation by stating that he would love to have Kane back at the club. However, the Tottenham gaffer does not believe that the English star will make the switch anytime soon, given the fact that he is enjoying his adventure in Bayern.

Spurs, on their part, are aware of the 32-year-old’s clause and would be very much willing to offer him a return to the club, although they know that they’d face competition from several clubs across the continent.

According to TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey, both Spanish heavyweights Real Madrid and Barcelona have a firm interest in Kane and could be in the mix for his signature next summer, if he decides to leave Bayern. Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is a huge fan of the former Spurs talisman and would love to bring him to Old Trafford, while Chelsea have been linked with an interest.

“Both Real and Barca have huge respect for Harry Kane. They love the way he holds himself, the way he comes across; he is the consummate professional,” Graeme Bailey explained Kane’s current situation.

“Florentino Perez and Joan Laporta would both love to land him, and at 32, he still has a few very good years left in him.

“Clearly, should Kane move, a return to England would be appealing given the all-time Premier League goalscorer record is within his sights, which could be a huge lure for him.”

Alan Shearer’s Premier League record in sight

Thomas Frank has made an excellent start to life at Tottenham, winning five of his opening seven games in all competitions. He oversaw the team’s progress to the Carabao Cup fourth round following a 3-0 success over League One side Doncaster Rovers on Wednesday.

The Hotspur Way chiefs will want to back the Dane in the transfer market after the impact he’s made at the club, and Frank potentially opening doors for Kane’s return should bode well. Both Frank and Spurs have made their intentions clear regarding the Bayern star. Kane is just 47 goals behind Alan Shearer’s Premier League goalscoring record, which should be enough of an incentive for him to return to the Lilywhites in 2026. However, the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Man United will do everything possible to complicate Tottenham’s move for Kane.
