Kane rules out Premier League return despite Ballon d'Or and knighthood speculation

spox.com (German) —

Harry Kane has ruled out a return to the Premier League to break Alan Shearer's all-time scoring record, despite winning the Ballon d'Or. The Bayern Munich striker is now reportedly in line for a knighthood in England. A spokesman for the Prime Minister praised Kane's "enormous contribution" to English football, fueling speculation about the honor. Kane, who is England's record scorer with 91 goals, also became the national team's World Cup record scorer this summer. The 33-year-old said he is happy in Munich and focused on winning the Champions League with Bayern and a major trophy with England. He is reportedly close to signing a contract extension until 2029.
