Tottenham 'retain clause' in Harry Kane contract after Ballon d'Or win and new Bayern Munich deal

“We signed the contract yesterday, but the decision was made quite a long time ago," he said. "As I’ve said before, I know I’m part of a great team, that we’re competing for the Champions League and for every title.

"It’s important for me to be somewhere where I can improve. There’s no doubt about that here. My family is happy that we can stay here – overall, everyone’s happy.”

While Kane is happy and settled in Germany, a return to England with Tottenham at some point in the future has not completely ruled out following the new contract - even if there is currently no suggestion of this scenario materialising.

Now, Telegraph Sport have reported that Spurs retained their first-option matching rights for the England captain.

As such, should Bayern - who are said to currently view Kane as “untouchable” - agree to sell the striker before his new contract expires, Tottenham would have to decide whether to match the bid in order to give the striker a decision to make.

The report also states there is no fixed fee in Spurs’ first-option matching rights.
