The striker left Tottenham for Bayern in 2023 having scored 213 goals in the English top flight, 47 short of Alan Shearer's record haul of 260. Kane has been prolific in Germany ever since, hitting 73 goals in all competitions last season, and is now entering the final 12 months of the four-year deal he signed after his £86.4m move from Spurs.
Speaking after collecting the European Golden Shoe on Wednesday for finishing as the continent's top scorer, the England captain made clear how settled he feels in Bavaria.
"When I first left, for sure it was something I thought — I would definitely be coming back. That itch isn't there as much anymore," Kane said. "I am extremely happy here in Munich, it opened my eyes to a totally different world of football outside of England and it has made me appreciate European football even more.
"I just think the team we have here and the manager, my family is really settled here, it is just about being in the best place possible. Never say never, but for now I am concentrating on Bayern Munich and we will see what the future holds."
Kane scored 61 goals in 51 appearances for Bayern last season as Vincent Kompany's side completed a league and cup double, and he credited the former Manchester City defender with elevating his game since taking charge in 2024.
"I think this is the best version of myself for sure," he added. "I think last season speaks for itself, from that sense the best season in my career no doubt. Since the boss has come in he has elevated my game to another level. That is down to the style of play, the way we attack and the way we defend, the way he gives players freedom to sometimes receive the ball deeper and sometimes arrive late in the box.
"I also had a lot of this and these kind of different positions during my Tottenham career as well, especially from the Mourinho stage onwards, it was the same sort of thing — I had freedom to come deep and get the ball and I had a great relationship with Son Heung-min. It has been building but I think this season with the team I have around me, the players we have and the system we play with the coach, it has just elevated me to another level."
