Harry Kane leaves door open to future La Liga move

Harry Kane has not ruled out playing in La Liga during his career, revealing that there have previously been discussions about a possible move to a Spanish club.

The Bayern Munich striker was speaking to Spanish newspaper Marca before England’s expected Nations League meeting with Spain at Wembley.

Asked whether he could see himself playing in Spain one day, Kane said: “There were times when that did happen. I cannot say they were clear opportunities, but there were some conversations in the past.”

The England captain said he held La Liga and its leading clubs in high regard, having grown up watching Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

“I have a lot of respect for La Liga,” Kane added. “Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are among the biggest clubs in the world. I grew up watching Ronaldo and Messi, and I have enormous respect for those clubs.”

Kane, who joined Bayern Munich after leaving Tottenham, said he was not closing the door on a future move but remained satisfied with life in Germany.

“We all know that anything can happen in football,” he said. “I would never rule anything out, but for now, and as I have said before, I am very happy in Germany.”

Kane is now preparing to face Spain with England in the Nations League at Wembley, a fixture he expects to provide a significant test.

“It will be a difficult match,” he said. “Spain are the current European champions and world champions.”

England have challenged Spain in recent years but have been unable to go all the way, according to Kane.

“We have been very close to them in recent years, but Spain have been the team that managed to reach the end, while we have not,” he said. “We have a great deal of respect for them.”

However, Kane believes the match can also offer England an important opportunity to begin their Nations League campaign positively.

“It is also a chance for us to make a good start in the Nations League,” he said. “Spain won the competition two years ago, and that helped them later reach the level they are at now.”

For England, Kane sees the tournament as a possible route to ending a long wait for silverware, with Euro 2028 set to be staged on home soil.

“England are a mirror of that,” he said. “We have not won a trophy for a very long time, and perhaps we can do it this year through the Nations League.”

He added: “That could help us before Euro 2028, which will be held at home. But yes, the match against Spain will be difficult because of the way they keep the ball and the players they have. I am very excited to play in it.”
