Harry Kane confirms 2030 World Cup plans and doesn't rule out future Premier League return

Kane confirmed his intention to play in the 2030 World Cup and didn't rule out a future Premier League return, though he said it would need to be a perfect situation.

England captain Harry Kane spoke exclusively to talkSPORT about his future plans, confirming he hopes to feature in the 2030 World Cup in Spain, Morocco and Portugal when he'll be 35 or 36. "I think that is pretty young, to be honest," Kane said, citing examples of Messi, Modric and Ronaldo playing at the 2026 tournament in their late 30s and early 40s. "As long as I am performing and I deserve my place in the team, then I'll be here."

Kane, who signed a new Bayern Munich contract until summer 2029, also addressed speculation about a Premier League return. While he said "it would have to be a perfect situation for me to ever come back," he didn't completely rule it out, telling presenter Andy Goldstein: "One day, anything is possible."

When pressed further about rejoining Tottenham or another top-flight club, Kane remained non-committal: "Who knows, I can't tell you. Time will tell."

The Bayern Munich forward, who won the Ballon d'Or and two Bundesliga titles since leaving Tottenham in 2023, said his family are settled in Germany and he's happy at the club. He will captain England against Croatia in the Nations League on Thursday.
