Harry Kane currently meets at will, for FC Bayern the Englishman is something of life insurance. But again and again speculations are circulating according to which the center forward flirted with a return to the island. Record national player Lothar Matthäus has a advice for the 32-year-old.
If it goes to Lothar Matthäus, Harry Kane should end his career at Bayern and do not succumb to the calls from the Premier League.
“It is always rumored that Kane might be able to return to England next summer to crack Alan Shear’s record for most Premier League goals, but I would recommend Kane to stay at Bayern,” writes the world champion in 1990 in his column for “Sky”. Shearer is at 260 Premier League goals, Kane at 213.
But Kane was nowhere else “ever better” than at Bayern, argues Matthäus, “and here he played even more to the fore. I don’t think the shearer record is a motivation. In the Premier League, he did his homework and therefore he should end his career at Bavaria”.
If the Englishman, who is one of the top earners in the squad at FC Bayern, are once again about “making some money, he can switch to Saudi Arabia,” says Matthew: “However, I think that Kane has a few more good years in front of him for a few more good years.”

In the past few months, rumors have been circulating, according to which the center forward could leave Bayern in the coming summer thanks to an exit clause. According to the “Bild”, this is 65 million euros, the prerequisite is that a farewell to will be announced in winter.
In the meantime, Harry Kane only has outsider opportunities in the race for winning the balloon d’Or, which will be awarded on Monday evening (from 9:00 p.m. in the live blog on sport.de). Former world footballer Lothar Matthäus expects a tight race between Ousmane Dembélé and Lamine Yamal – with slight advantages for the French.
“Due to his goal quota, templates and the Champions League triumph with Paris Saint-Germain”, Dembélé was the favorite for him, according to Matthäus, who was able to win the trophy in 1990.
The importance of the election is still high, said Matthew. “For me personally, the balloon d’Or is still the most important choice in world football,” he wrote: “It is the oldest award, so it has a big story and, on the whole, I am also satisfied with the election results.”
