From the source

The bond between Tottenham Hotspur and their legendary former talisman, Harry Kane, may carry a lingering structural connection long after his departure to the Bundesliga.

According to updates shared by The Spurs Watch on X (citing prominent journalist Matt Law), Tottenham continue to hold first-option matching rights concerning Harry Kane.

Despite recent developments and a new contract agreement penned at Bayern Munich, this crucial clause remains fully active. The existence of Tottenham’s matching rights is unique because it operates independently of Kane’s primary registration paperwork.
