But it has now been revealed that the deal included a buyout element that could open the door for a return to England.The 31-year-old could have triggered the clause in the winter transfer window.This would have allowed him to leave Bayern for around £67m in the summer, according to German outlet Bild.READ MORE ON HARRY KANEThat deadline has now passed, but the release clause, which isn’t common in the Bundesliga, will be valid again next winter.If Kane triggers it next January, he could move to another club for just £54m in under 18 months’ time in the summer of 2026.It is understood that Kane – who is contracted to Bayern until June 2027 – is happy in Germany.He has more than settled in, shattering Erling Haaland’s goalscoring records in the German top-flight.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSAs of Sunday’s 4-3 win over Holstein Kiel, Kane has scored 55 goals in 50 games – which beats Haaland’s 50 goals in the same amount of matches.He has bagged 70 goals in 72 appearances in all competitions, and became the fastest player to reach 50 Bundesliga goals in November.But a return to the Prem could be tempting in 2026, with Alan Shearer’s all-time goalscoring record of 260 goals within reach.Daniel Levy confirmed Spurs have first refusal to re-sign Kane, who refused to rule out a return to North London.Kane currently has 213 Prem goals to his name, putting him 47 behind Shearer in second place.Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme – Sun Club.

    I’m a Tottenham legend despite getting sacked after 12 months… I know what Spurs must do to beat Liverpool

    JUANDE RAMOS calls himself a “Spurs legend” as he is the last boss to lift a trophy at the club.The Spaniard won just 19 of his 54 games — but one was a match fans will never forget.Juande Ramos won just 19 of his 54 games in charge of TottenhamCredit: GettyBut one of them was the League Cup finalCredit: Times Newspapers LtdAnd Ramos knows how Spurs can repeat their Wembley glory from 2008Credit: PA:Press AssociationTrailing 1-0 to Chelsea at Wembley, Tottenham fought back to win in extra-time as Jonathan Woodgate’s 94th-minute header put the Carling Cup in their trophy cabinet.Despite the high-profile managerial appointments of Harry Redknapp, Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, there has been no more silverware at Spurs since February 24, 2008.But Ramos — who was sacked in October that year after 12 months in charge — now hopes Ange Postecoglou can change all that.Ange’s side take a 1-0 lead to Anfield for tomorrow night’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLRamos, 70, said: “I am a Tottenham legend because I am the last manager to win a trophy.“Whether I am regarded like that or not, I don’t know! But I think I am.“It’s been way too many years for a tremendous club without enjoying success.“This is a club that has everything to win lots of titles.Most read in FootballJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS“At some point the drought has to end and let’s hope it’s as soon as possible. The fans deserve it.”If Postecoglou does end the club’s tedious wait for silverware, it would also mean Ramos’ name could disappear from memory. ‘Jack Grealish was a Tottenham player’ – Ex-Spurs chief reveals two huge transfers to ‘replace irreplaceable’ fell apart But the former Real Madrid and Sevilla boss added: “Tottenham are a club that is in my heart and that I love very much.“I hope they win the Carabao Cup, never mind if I go from being the last to penultimate manager to win a trophy.“That doesn’t change the happy narrative of Juande Ramos’ time at Tottenham. I wasn’t there for long but we had a great time.”Ramos warns that aiming to just sit and defend their 1-0 lead at Anfield is a bad idea.He said: “It’s unlikely that Liverpool won’t score at all in 90 minutes.“If they go there to defend it, it’s going to be very difficult to survive.“They have to take risks, take their game to Liverpool. If Liverpool level the tie, Tottenham will have a mountain to climb.“But this game is way more important for Tottenham than for Liverpool because it’s their best chance of winning a trophy.”At Wembley 17 years ago, Didier Drogba gave Chelsea a first-half lead before Dimitar Berbatov’s 70th-minute penalty and Woodgate’s header completed a shock comeback.Ramos said: “Chelsea were the biggest team in England and Europe at the time.“They were clear favourites. We were in mid-table but saw them off and won deservedly.“It was a huge surprise, which made it all the sweeter for the fans.”But his time was up after taking two points from the first eight games of the 2008-09 season.And Ramos laid the blame at the club’s door for selling — and not replacing — lethal duo Berbatov and Robbie Keane.He said: “It was totally unfair because the club sold the two strikers who had scored 44 goals the previous year.
