What everyone was talking about when Harry Kane signed for Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023 in a deal that left €95 million at Tottenham was the fact that the English striker found himself in second place among the all-time goalscorers in the Premier League.
Harry Kane stopped at 213 goals, which is not too far up with the all-time goalscorer Alan Shearer with his 260 goals. Certainly within reach in a couple of seasons, but then he has to play in the Premier League. With his 56 goals in the Bundesliga for Bayern Munich, he has not stopped finding his way to goals. One would think that the 31-year-old will continue to score even if he returns to England and the Premier League.
Harry Kane scores for England as well and this is where Gareth Southgate comes in. Southgate, who was national team manager from 2017 until after this summer’s European Championships, has used Harry Kane diligently. – In 103 international matches, there have been 69 goals, more than any English player.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe knows that Gareth Southgate, who has also just become Sir, has a very good relationship with Harry Kane and will weigh heavily on the day Kan returns to take Shearer’s record.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim does not have the same attractiveness.
Manchester United could be the protagonist in one of the big moves in the upcoming transfer market. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new shareholder of the club, is prioritising strengthening the front line with a high-impact signing, and has set his sights on Harry Kane. The experienced English goalscorer, who is currently at Bayern Munich, is the British billionaire’s biggest target. He will make a significant effort for Harry Kane (and probably Gareth Southgate) to lead the new project at Old Trafford and bring the team back to the elite of English and European football.
Kane, 31, has proven to be one of the most lethal strikers in the world over the past decade. After becoming a legend at Tottenham, he decided to move to the Bundesliga in August 2023, and since joining Bayern, he has maintained an outstanding level. So far this season, he has been involved in 36 goals in 27 games, showing an impressive ability to adapt in German football.
Harry Kane, the new target of Manchester United
United’s interest is not new. In the past, the club tried unsuccessfully to sign him, opting for other options such as Rasmus Hojlund. But with the inconsistency of the Dane and the need for an elite striker, the possibility of Kane is increasing again. In addition, his release clause at Bayern will drop to £54 million, making him an attractive option in the market.
While Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in the England forward, Ratcliffe is determined to do everything possible for his project to revolve around Kane. His potential return to the Premier League is a story to follow in the coming months, and United will do everything possible to secure the services of one of the best goalscorers in the world.
