Tottenham’s Harry Kane ‘buy-back clause’ details revealed after Levy speak out

Ange Postecoglou hails ‘professional’ Hugo Lloris with Tottenham exit on cards

Tottenham reportedly do not have a traditional buy-back clause for Harry Kane, despite club chairman Daniel Levy suggesting that his side can bring back their No 9 when they desire. The England international joined Bayern Munich over the summer in a deal worth £100million and penned a four-year deal at the Allianz Arena, though he may not see out his contract at the club.

Spurs were reluctant to part ways with Kane this summer but eventually facilitated his exit after it became clear that he would not sign a new deal in North London and was willing to entertain interest from top clubs.

Manchester United and Real Madrid were among the sides to reportedly make contact with Tottenham about signing Kane, before – after weeks of negotiations – Bayern secured the signature of their top target.

Speaking at a fan forum, Levy revealed that Tottenham ensured that a ‘buy-back clause’ was inserted into the deal so that the England international could return to the club further down the line. However, there is more to the statement than meets the eye.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the clause in the deal is not ‘traditional’ and actually only ensures that Tottenham are notified of any bids for Kane in the future so that they can match the offer. Therefore, Spurs do not know the exact fee required to bring back the 30-year-old and could be priced out of the move if fresh bids are tabled by wealthy clubs.

Additionally, Bayern remain in full control of the situation as the clause only becomes active if they are planning on accepting a bid. Kane would also have a say on his future and would not be required to return to Tottenham.

Levy doubled down on the sentiment of his message recently when talking to Bloomberg, explaining: “If Harry, one day, wants to come back to the Premier League and he wants to come to Tottenham, we would have the ability to repurchase him. Harry was a great servant to the club, an amazing player, someone that came from our academy, but you can’t look into the future. Who knows.”

The chairman also spoke of how he would be willing to sell a stake in the club if the correct offer arrived, revealing: “I’ve got no real interest to leave Tottenham, but I have a duty to consider anything that anyone may want to propose. It’s not about me, it’s about what’s right for the club.”
