Bayern Munich recently announced a contract extension for Harry Kane until 2029, at which point the England captain will be 36 years old.

With the new deal, Kane committed his immediate future to FC Bayern, but his new contract doesn't necessarily mean he intends to see out the remainder of his career in Munich, despite being very happy at the club.

There has been ongoing speculation that Kane could one day return to the Premier League in a bid to surpass Alan Shearer's all-time record of 260 goals, with the former Tottenham striker having already netted 213 times in the English top-flight.

Speaking to Sport Bild, Kane refused to rule out the possibility of returning to the Premier League in the future, although he made it clear that it is not something he is currently focused on.

“My focus is currently on Bayern. We have a great team and a fantastic coach, and I am extremely happy here. Of course, we still have further ambitions with Bayern and want to achieve new things. Above all, we want to win the Champions League, continue to dominate the Bundesliga and defend the titles we won last season,” Kane said, adding:

“Throughout my career and my life, I have learned that you cannot always control everything yourself. Sometimes you simply have to let things take their course, believe in yourself and continue to work hard. That is my top priority at the moment. I would never rule out breaking the Premier League's all-time goalscoring record at some point. But right now, that is not my main focus.”

Kane also outlined his ambitions for the coming years.

“In five years' time, I would like to have won the Champions League with Bayern at least once and lifted a trophy with England,” he stressed.
