Currently, Kane is enjoying his time at Bayern Munich, where he is setting records and coming off a remarkable 73-goal season, putting him in contention for the Ballon d’Or in London next month. Despite his success, Kane is contemplating his future in the United States, mentioning that combining both soccer and American football could be feasible depending on his career trajectory over the next five to six years.
Kane, an admirer of NFL legend Tom Brady, remarked, "Maybe if I am in the MLS in the future or somewhere like that, it might be a thing where you could connect the two maybe with the seasons." He noted the similarities between place-kicking in the NFL and taking penalties in soccer, highlighting the pressure and technique involved in both.
He stated that, should he pursue this path, he would commit to six months to a year of preparation. However, Kane emphasized that playing soccer remains his priority for now. He also mentioned he is "fairly close" to signing a new contract with Bayern Munich, where he is in his fourth season and has already won two Bundesliga titles. Reporting by The Associated Press.
