My dream is to win the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League with my team. I would also love to win a major tournament with the national team. My goal for the season is to win as many titles as possible,” said Kane. The 29-year-old striker has been in impressive form for both Bayern Munich and the German national team over the past year. After spells with Tottenham Hotspur and England, Kane made the high-profile move to the Bundesliga champions in the summer of 2023, joining a star-studded squad aiming to dominate domestically and in Europe.
“Coming to Bayern was a big decision for me, but one I’m thrilled to have made,” Kane explained. “This is a club with a winning mentality, world-class players, and a real hunger to achieve more trophies. The Bundesliga title is obviously the minimum requirement, but we want to go all the way in the Champions League as well.” Kane has slotted seamlessly into Bayern’s starting XI, forging an immediate partnership with attacking teammates such as Sadio Mané and Serge Gnabry. His clinical finishing, hold-up play, and ability to link the play have made him an invaluable asset for manager Julian Nagelsmann.
“Harry’s quality speaks for itself,” Nagelsmann said. “He’s a complete forward who can do it all – score goals, create chances, and bring others into the game. He’s settled in really well and I have no doubt he’ll be pivotal to our success this season.” At international level, Kane will be hoping to lead Germany to glory at next summer’s European Championships. The striker, who has over 70 caps for England, obtained German citizenship earlier this year, making him eligible to represent die Mannschaft. “It was a tough decision to switch national teams, but ultimately I felt it was the right move for my career,” Kane admitted. “Germany are one of the powerhouses of international football, and I’m excited by the prospect of trying to win a major trophy with them.”
With the World Cup in 2026 also on the horizon, Kane is determined to make the most of the peak years of his career. “I’m hungrier than ever to win trophies,” he said. “I feel I’ve got another 4 or 5 years at the top level, and I want to make the most of that by filling my medal cabinet.” Bayern and Germany fans will certainly be hoping Kane can deliver on his ambitious targets. If he can inspire his new club to domestic and European glory, while also leading his adopted national team to success, he will cement his legacy as one of the all-time great strikers of his generation. “I’m loving life in Munich so far,” Kane concluded. “The club, the city, the supporters – it all feels like a perfect fit. Now it’s time to get to work and start winning some silverware.”
In August 2023, 31-year-old English striker Harry Kane made the high-profile move from London’s Tottenham Hotspur to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. The transfer fee was reported to be €95 million, a substantial investment but one the German champions were eager to make to bolster their already formidable attacking options. Kane, who had spent the previous 10 seasons with Spurs, had established himself as one of the Premier League’s most prolific and complete center-forwards during his time in North London. He leaves the club as their all-time leading goalscorer, with 253 goals in all competitions. However, despite his individual excellence, Kane had been unable to win any major trophies with Tottenham, a void he was determined to fill at the latter stage of his career.
“Joining Bayern Munich is an opportunity I simply couldn’t pass up,” Kane explained at his unveiling. “This is a club with a relentless winning mentality, world-class players throughout the squad, and a real hunger to dominate both domestically and in Europe. I want to win trophies, and I believe this is the perfect place for me to do that.” The England captain hit the ground running in the Bundesliga, forming an immediate understanding with his new attacking teammates such as Sadio Mané and Serge Gnabry. In his debut season at the Allianz Arena, Kane made 45 appearances across all competitions, scoring an impressive 44 goals and providing 12 assists.
“Harry has been an absolute revelation for us,” lauded Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann. “His quality, experience, and desire to win are exactly what this team needed. He’s slotted in seamlessly and has been the missing piece in our quest for trophies.” Kane’s prolific form helped Bayern secure a comfortable Bundesliga title, their 12th in the last 13 seasons. However, the real target for the Bavarian giants was European glory, with the UEFA Champions League final being the ultimate prize. After navigating a challenging knockout stage, Bayern found themselves facing off against Spanish giants Real Madrid in the grand final in Istanbul. In a tight and tense affair, it was Kane who proved to be the difference-maker, netting a crucial brace to secure a 2-1 victory for the German side.
“This is why I came to Bayern – to win the biggest trophies in the game,” an ecstatic Kane said after the match. “To lift the Champions League trophy is a dream come true, and I’m so proud of the team for the way we’ve performed all season. But we’re not done yet – there’s more to come.” With the Bundesliga title and Champions League secured, Kane set his sights on international glory with his newly adopted nation, Germany. Having obtained German citizenship earlier in the year, the striker was eligible to represent die Mannschaft, and he was determined to lead them to success at the 2024 European Championships. “It was a big decision to switch national teams, but one I’m confident was the right move,” Kane explained. “Germany is a footballing powerhouse, and I’m excited by the prospect of trying to win a major tournament with them. I feel I still have so much to give at the top level, and this is the perfect opportunity to add more silverware to my collection.”
