Harry Kane to Tottenham transfer ‘agreement’ explained as buy-back clause truth emerges
Tottenham fans have been sent a huge update regarding the possibility of Harry Kane sealing a sensational return. The England captain departed his boyhood club to sign for Bayern Munich this past summer with just 12 months left on his contract and no clear indication he would sign an extension.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy selling his star player just a few days before the 2023/24 season was a surprise, however such a decision likely meant they were a number of incentives. One of those was potentially confirmed earlier this week as it was announced the Lilywhites will welcome Bayern to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a pre-season friendly in August.
Talk of a buyout clause has also come to the fore in the months since his departure, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano clarifying it in a recent transfer update
“At the moment, I don’t have any confirmation on that,” he told the Spurs Chat podcast when asked about a possible buyout clause
“More than the traditional buyback clause, from what I hear, it’s more of a Gentlemen’s Agreement between the clubs that if they decide to sell Harry Kane in the future, Tottenham will be notified about this decision “It was a discussion that took place between Bayern and Tottenham, but it’s not a traditional buyback clause where you can go in there and put money in and the player will return the next day, I don’t think it was an automatic clause, but a Gentleman’s Agreement
Kane’s return to Spurs one day, though possible, seems unlikely, especially as his Bayern title hopes are dwindling
Over the weekend, Bayern were defeated by Borussia Dortmund, meaning Bayer Leverkusen extended their lead to 13 points
