In the summer there was a possibility that Harry Kane could be transferred within the Premier League. But FC Bayern won the race. The England international’s hit rate is intoxicating. But that also causes dismay.
With his 17 goals after eleven games, Harry Kane has now scored more times than top scorers Niclas Füllkrug and Christopher Nkunku last season (16 goals each). An England legend is extremely frustrated by this result.
Rio Ferdinand, who played 81 times for England and 455 times for Manchester United, made this blatantly public on his podcast “Five”. “Every time I see Kane with the match ball in his hand after a hat-trick, I want to puke,” he said. There’s a reason for that.
Kane was at the top of Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag’s transfer wish list. But the English super striker didn’t stay on the island, instead moving from Tottenham Hotspur to FC Bayern. The transfer fee for the 30-year-old: around 100 million euros.

“Why? Why didn’t we go and get him?” Ferdinand asked himself. According to The Athletic, United’s sporting director John Murtough and other officials felt they were not in a good place after a poker game with Tottenham.
One thing is certain: Kane has settled in well at Bayern. With his 17 goals in the league he leads the top scorers list and with four goals in the Champions League he is also at the top. Thanks to the hit rate of his royal transfer, FC Bayern itself has 40 goals this season, equaling the historic Bundesliga record held by the Munich team after eleven match days (2021/22).
Financial incentives for Kane with a high hit rate
Kane is particularly impressive in the Bundesliga. He has already scored a hat-trick in three games (7:0 against Bochum, 8:0 against Darmstadt, 4:0 against Dortmund). In the win in Dortmund he even scored a real hat trick, i.e. three goals in one half. His tally in eleven games allows for an extrapolation that would ultimately be well above Robert Lewandowski’s record of 41 goals from the 2020/21 season.
“There is still a long way to go. “I started strong and people like to talk about that record,” said the 30-year-old. “There are still a lot of games to be played and I’m not focused on that. I want to get the three points and help my team by scoring goals.”
After a few games together, captain Manuel Neuer is as enthusiastic about England’s national team captain as he is about Lewandowski. “Both are very hungry for goals and also unpredictable in the box,” said Neuer, who loudly started analyzing mistakes after conceding goals. “Both can do almost everything and it’s hard to calculate for the defense and for the goalkeepers too.”

As SPORT BILD reports, the England captain’s mega contract (estimated annual salary of 24 million euros) contains a special treat that is intended to motivate the summer signing to perform at his best. A secret clause in Kane’s contract says: If the striker achieves more than 40 scorer points (goals and assists) across all competitions in a season, he will receive a further payment of 250,000 euros – with 28 scorer points in mid-November, this seems to be just a formality .
According to the report, it was important to the club during the negotiations to make the special payments dependent on scorers and not just on goals in order to prevent Kane, who was so helpful to the team, from suddenly becoming stubborn. Also exciting: Bayern’s nine should not receive an individual Champions League victory bonus. Instead, the bonus goes into a pot, which is distributed proportionally to all players in the event of victory.
