'there’s a possibility' Didi Hamann adopts an interesting transactional view of Harry Kane’s future

Harry Kane insists he’s “all in” with Bayern Munich and open to extending his stay — BUT Didi Hamann believes that Bayern may well look to cash in after the 2026 World Cup.

In a recent interview with The Guardian, Kane says: “I could definitely see [staying longer]. I’ve still got this season and another season — it’s not like there’s any panic.”

But as per The Boy Hotspur, Hamann takes a more transactional view:

“He’s got two years left… It’s probably the last time Bayern get a fee for him. If Kane has a good World Cup, clubs might say, ‘Let’s get him.’ If not, maybe the interest won’t be as high.

“It’s certainly something I can see. Obviously, Bayern haven’t got a replacement now because Woltemade didn’t come, and Jackson is only there on loan.

But I do think there’s a possibility that he might leave after the World Cup.”

This certainly puts a different and perhaps more hope-inducing spin on matters for Tottenham fans. There will, of course, be questions that need to be addressed.

Is Kane still any good?

Kane has scored 100 goals for Bayern in just 104 games, the fastest in a top-five European league this century, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland (105 games).

He scored 36 goals in 32 Bundesliga matches in his debut season (2023/24), earning the European Golden Shoe, and 26 goals in 31 games in 2024/25, securing back-to-back Torjägerkanone awards as the Bundesliga’s top scorer. Overall, he has 82 goals in 92 competitive games for Bayern, including 62 in 63 Bundesliga matches.

Kane has provided 19 assists in 68 Bundesliga games, with his play making role expanding under coach Vincent Kompany, especially after Jamal Musiala’s injury. His touches in the middle third and forward passes (22% to the right, 16% to the left) highlight his all-around contribution.

Kane’s time at Bayern has been a resounding success, marked by record-breaking goals, a Bundesliga title, and growing leadership. His 100 goals in record time, dual role as scorer and playmaker, and cultural integration have made him a Bayern icon. With a perfect start to 2025/26 and ambitions for more trophies, Kane’s move has proven transformative, both for him and the club.

Do Spurs need him any more?

Despite spending a fortune on both Richarlison and Solanke, who have been comparative duds, Spurs are still looking for a striker. So, it would be a fascinating conversation to have with anyone arguing that our attack is currently in good hands, because it is not. It would be embarrassing to suggest that it is.
