The reunion of Son Heung-min (34, Los Angeles FC) and Harry Kane (33, Bayern Munich), who made history in the English Premier League (EPL), will not happen in the future. Kane again dismissed rumors of a return to Tottenham Hotspur and declared his stay in Munich.

British media 'Talk Sports' reported on the 5th (Korea Standard Time) that "Kane spoke directly about his future at a recent fan event."

Kane reportedly said of a possible contract extension with Munich: "It's certainly possible. It's 100 percent. I'm sure I'll talk to the club soon," he said.

Kane then said, "I'm focusing on this season. He added, "I have no intention of moving to another team at the moment."

Earlier in England, it was reported that Kane would soon return to England to break Alan Shearer's record of most goals scored (260 goals) in the EPL. Tottenham manager Thomas Frank also expressed his intention to recruit Kane in a recent interview, saying, "I hope Kane will return to England," but Kane's mind tilted to stay in Munich.

According to "Talk Sports," Kane said of the possibility of returning to the EPL, "I would have answered that I would definitely go back if I asked when I left Tottenham for the first time, but now that I've spent a few years in Munich, that thought has diminished," adding, "I can't say I won't go back, but when it comes to my place now, I'm certainly not as sure as I used to be."

"Kane is not as interested in returning to England as he used to be," the BBC said in October, adding, "He said he is willing to start negotiating a new contract with Munich."

Kane played an active role on the German stage after joining Munich in the summer of 2023 and played a decisive role in Munich's 2024-2025 Bundesliga championship. It was also his first major championship victory.

Kane stressed that the lingering effects of his first win led to greater motivation. "When I won the title last year, I could think, 'You've achieved what you wanted,' but it rather raised my desire to develop further," he said. "I only imagined what it would feel like before I won the trophy, but after experiencing it, my will to go on a bigger stage has become stronger."

Calm life in Germany is also a key factor in renewing the contract. Munich Honorary President Uli Houness announced that Kane's family is very happy with life in Munich. Chairman Hurness said: "Kane's family is very happy. I always had to be with a bodyguard in London, but I can spend my daily life peacefully here. "I won't need that life either," he said. "I'm confident that Kane will fulfill the contract until 2027 and extend it after that."

Kane scored 115 goals in 121 games for Munich. Since moving to Munich, he has surpassed 100 goals in just 104 games, becoming the fastest player in Europe's top five league clubs to reach triple-digit scores.

He has scored 30 official goals under Vincent Kompany this season as well. Kane said, "What I learned in my career was that there were various opportunities and timing and eventually everything came into place. I've been completely into Bayern since I won my first championship in Munich."

Therefore, it is unlikely that we will see the "Son-Ke Duo" again at Tottenham. Son Heung-min and Kane are considered the greatest combination of attacks in EPL history. From the 2015-2016 season to the 2022-2023 season, Son Heung-min helped Kane score 28 goals, while Kane scored 26 goals. In the EPL alone, he scored 47 goals (23 Kane goals), far exceeding the previous record of 36 goals by Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba.

However, in the summer of 2023, Kane joined Munich and the accompanying stopped. Son Heung-min has been active on the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) stage since leaving Tottenham after the 2024-2025 season.
