Former England striker Michael Owen has voiced his skepticism regarding Harry Kane's decision to join Bayern Munich rather than wait for a move to a prestigious club like Real Madrid. Kane, a Tottenham Hotspur icon, made a headline-grabbing transfer to Bayern for a fee exceeding €100 million.

Owen, who has an astute perspective on the game, suggested that Kane may have yielded to the pressure to make a momentous career move. In his interview on DAZN, he said that the Englishman forfeited the opportunity to have a more decisive say in his future. He alluded to Kane's long-standing desire for more control over his career choices, indicating the striker's decision might have been hasty.

While Owen acknowledged Kane's exceptional talent and his impressive start at Bayern, he questioned the motivation behind securing a Bundesliga trophy. He pointed out that Bayern has historically been the dominant force in the league, with or without Kane's presence.
