Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy recently said the club had a buy-back clause inserted into the deal which saw Harry Kane join Bayern Munich for €100 million this summer, and his words prompted DAZN to check their veracity with a Bayern official, but Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund refused to go into the details of the transfer.
“We never talk about contract details,” Freund said.
But journalists from other outlets, for example Sky Sports News reporter Paul Gilmour , have investigated further and found that there is a clause, but not as simple as Levy indicated.
“This is something Daniel Levy was asked about at a fans’ forum,” Gilmour wrote.
“He was asked ‘is there a buy-back clause’ and he replied: ‘Of course.’
“It’s essentially Tottenham having the first option to re-sign Harry Kane if he ever does come back to the Premier League. It’s something similar to what they had in the Gareth Bale deal to Real Madrid.
“If another English club comes in with a bid for Kane at any point during his Bayern Munich career, and Bayern accept that bid, then Tottenham will be given first refusal to match that offer.
“It would then be up to Kane on whether he would come back to Tottenham.”
