Harry Kane has opened the door to a surprising career shift. Speaking from the England national team’s training camp, the Bayern Monaco striker and England captain revealed he is seriously considering a future in the NFL after his soccer career concludes. Trading the pitch for the gridiron, he stated, seems more feasible than taking up golf.
An Unorthodox Career Pivot
The Five-to-Six-Year Timeline
Addressing the timeline for his post-soccer ambitions while on international duty, Kane made his intentions clear.
“È qualcosa su cui mi informerò seriamente. Dipende cosa succederà nei prossimi 5-6 anni nella mia carriera, andare in Nfl sembra qualcosa di più fattibile del golf,” Kane said, as reported by Adnkronos.
Respecting the Steep Learning Curve
The transition from European football to the premier professional American football league would require significant preparation. Kane acknowledged the deceptive simplicity of elite sports when viewed through a screen.
“Quando lo guardi alla tv – ha aggiunto Kane – ogni sport professionistico sembra semplice e pensi che sia possibile farlo allo stesso modo, ma so che non sempre è così,” the forward noted.
Months of Intense Practice Required
Despite the challenges, the prolific goalscorer views the prospect as a concrete possibility rather than a distant daydream. He estimated that a dedicated training window would be essential before attempting any competitive action.
“Probabilmente mi ci vorrebbero dai sei mesi a un anno di pratica prima di iniziare,” Kane explained.
A Potential MLS Stepping Stone
A potential move to North America could bridge the gap between his current career at the highest level of European club soccer and his American football aspirations. Kane pointed to the growth of Major League Soccer, which has drawn numerous European stars in recent years following Lionel Messi's arrival. “Se in futuro dovessi giocare in Mls o in un campionato simile, si potrebbe trovare un modo per collegare le cose,” Kane remarked.
While the English star remains firmly entrenched in elite European competition with Bayern Monaco and the Three Lions, his latest comments suggest that pulling on a new uniform across the Atlantic in five to six years is a realistic consideration rather than a passing joke.
