Chelsea are considering a surprising move for Harry Kane in the upcoming summer transfer window while Bayern Munich continue to struggle under Thomas Tuchel.
The Bavarians fell further behind Bayer Leverkusen in the race for the Bundesliga title after a 3-2 defeat to Bochum yesterday, leaving them eight points adrift of Xabi Alonso's team.
Despite Kane scoring his 25th goal of the season in the league, it wasn't enough to help the German champions get back on course, resulting in their third consecutive loss across all competitions.
Football Insider reports that there are murmurs from the striker's camp indicating that the former Tottenham star would be open to a return to the Premier League.
Kane scored 278 goals during his time in North London, establishing himself as Spurs' all-time leading goal scorer before causing dismay with his departure announcement last summer.
A potential move to Chelsea would reunite him with Mauricio Pochettino, one of his former managers, but could potentially spark outrage from his childhood club.
While Bayern paid approximately £86 million for the 30-year-old forward who had just one year left on his contract at that time, Chelsea believe they could reach an agreement for a similar fee despite Kane being tied to Munich until 2027.
Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen have also been rumored to be targets for Chelsea, but acquiring Kane would provide experience and guidance to a youthful and relatively inexperienced squad.
