But , 32, only has 12 months left on his contract after signing a four-year deal from Tottenham in 2023.
He has not penned an extension since the £86million transfer, and reports have suggested Barca are eyeing a potential blockbuster move.
‘s men are looking to replace veteran , who is leaving this summer, with Kane touted as a potential target.
Bayern president Uli Hoeness is having none of it, though, laying into Barca’s recent financial issues.
He told outlet Das Erste: “Harry Kane is the best transfer we’ve ever made.”
And when pressed on losing their star forward, he replied: “FC Bayern is a buying club not a selling club.”
Former legendary player Hoeness confirmed that Kane would be staying, continuing: “Yes, and have no money anyway.”
Hoeness also – with some saying he was there to scout .
The England captain has had a remarkable season
The German replied: “He can cast five eyes on Olise, he won’t get him.
“He remains unsellable. I hope I don’t run into him, because he could have saved himself the trip from Madrid.”
And Three Lions captain Kane isn’t worried about his future either, explaining: “It’s not the time to talk about that now, but there’s no panic.
“We wanted to hold conversations until the end of the season and we’ve got a World Cup still to play.
“But everyone knows how much I enjoy it here. That situation is calm.”
Kane has a bonkers 146 goals in 147 Bayern games and led to the title again this season.
He added the DFB Pokal against Stuttgart on Saturday night and in , , and later this summer.
Tottenham favourite Kane hasn’t ruled out staying at Bayern for years to come or returning to the Prem.
He said: “In terms of staying longer I could definitely see that.
“I have not had those conversations with Bayern yet but if they were to arise I would be willing to talk and have an honest conversation.
“Obviously it depends on how the next year or so goes, what we achieve together.
“We are in a fantastic moment and I am not thinking about anything else.
“In terms of the Premier League, I don’t know. If you had asked me when I first left to go to Bayern, I would have said for sure I would come back.
“Now I have been there a couple of years I would probably say that has gone down a little bit, but I wouldn’t say I would never go back.”
He finished: “I am fully all in with Bayern.
“If there was a conversation about extending then we will see, but I have still got this season and another season.
“It is not like I am in my last year, it is not like there is any panic.
“I am calm, I love the manager at Bayern and as long we are improving and I am improving then I am happy to see what we can achieve.”
