Summary Harry Kane says he is happy at Bayern Munich and less interested in returning to the Premier League, while leaving his future open as his contract nears expiry.

(Reuters) - Harry Kane said the Premier League no longer holds the same draw for him and that he ​is fully focused on Bayern Munich amid continued ‌speculation about a return to England.

The 33-year-old left Tottenham Hotspur for Bayern in 2023 and has won two Bundesliga titles as ​well as the German Cup and Supercup.

He has ​frequently been linked with a move back to England, ⁠where he remains 47 goals short of Alan ​Shearer's Premier League record of 260.

"When I first left (Spurs), for ​sure it was something that I thought I'd definitely be coming back," Kane told FourFourTwo magazine after receiving his second European Golden ​Shoe on Wednesday.

"That itch isn't there as much anymore. ​I'm extremely happy here in Munich. It's opened my eyes to ‌a ⁠totally different world of football outside of England.

"I never say never but, for now, I'm concentrating on Bayern Munich, and we'll see what the future holds."

Kane, whose contract ​expires next year, ​said talks ⁠over his future would begin soon but stressed there was no urgency from either ​side.

Kane finished the 2025-26 Bundesliga season with ​36 goals, ⁠retaining the league's top-scorer award and claiming a second European Golden Shoe. The striker has scored 146 goals in ⁠147 ​appearances for Bayern, including 98 in ​94 Bundesliga matches.

Bayern begin their Bundesliga campaign against VfB Stuttgart on August ​28.
