Newcastle striker Callum Wilson has suggested there will be a lot of details involved in the Harry Kane deal which have not been made public, including a potential buy-back clause for a relatively low fee.
On completing a move to Bayern, Kane sent an emotional message to Tottenham fans on social media, thanking them for their support, but the striker curiously also added that this was not a ‘goodbye’, hinting at a possible return to the North London club in the future.

There have been some suggestions over the last few weeks that Spurs had been pushing for a buy-back clause to be added to the deal (Express), but based on various reports, it does not appear as if such a clause has been agreed (BBC Sport).
When Ange Postecoglou was asked last week about a potential buy-back clause, the Australian insisted that he does not know about the details of the agreement, but he remarked that the 30-year-old will be back at N17 in ‘in one capacity or another’ in the future (Football.London).
Callum Wilson hints at Harry Kane Tottenham return
Wilson believes that the agreement between Bayern and Tottenham could well have a clause that makes it easier for the Lilywhites to re-sign the striker.
The Magpies star said on The Footballer’s Football Podcast about the Kane deal: “There is going to be things that we don’t know about for sure. There is going to be things like him wanting to give back to the club that gave him so much.
“There’s going to be things like him being able to come back to Tottenham further down the line, I’m guessing, for a lower fee. There is going to be so much things we don’t know about because like everyone else we are just fans in this situation.”
Spurs Web Opinion
I do not think Bayern would have agreed to a buy-back clause, given the size of the fee they paid for Kane. However, I am certain that Spurs would have a right to match any offer that Bayern accept for the striker in the future.
However, it is premature to think about the 30-year-old potentially returning to the club as that could be influenced by a lot of factors, including how competitive or otherwise Spurs are in three of four years’ time.
