Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness has dismissed speculation linking Harry Kane with a move to FC Barcelona, insisting the Bundesliga champions have no intention of selling their star striker.
Hoeness made the comments after Bayern’s 3-0 victory in the DFB-Pokal final, where Kane scored a hat-trick to secure the club’s first domestic cup triumph in six years.
Speaking during the post-match celebrations, Hoeness praised the England captain’s impact since arriving in Germany and described him as the greatest signing in Bayern’s history.
Kane’s latest goals added to an outstanding campaign that has firmly established him as the focal point of the Bavarian side’s attack and one of the most influential players in European football this season.
Reports in Spain had suggested Barcelona were monitoring Kane’s situation as the Catalan club continues searching for a long-term attacking leader.
However, Hoeness mocked the idea of a transfer when questioned about Barcelona’s interest, pointing directly to the Spanish club’s financial struggles.
“Barcelona have no money anyway,” Hoeness said, dismissing speculation that the striker could move to La Liga.
The veteran Bayern executive also reinforced the club’s long-standing philosophy regarding transfers, making it clear the German giants are not interested in cashing in on their key players.
Hoeness stated that Bayern remain “a buying club, not a selling club,” underlining the organisation’s financial stability compared to several other major European sides navigating tighter economic restrictions and salary regulations.
Kane’s performances have justified Bayern’s confidence in him since his arrival from Tottenham Hotspur.
The striker has finally collected major silverware after years of individual success without trophies in England, and his adaptation to German football has been seamless.
His goalscoring consistency, leadership, and influence in decisive matches have made him a fan favourite at the Allianz Arena.
Despite continued transfer rumours, Kane appears fully committed to his future in Munich.
The England captain has frequently spoken positively about life in Germany, while reports suggest Bayern are already exploring the possibility of extending his current contract beyond 2027.
