Kane set to open Bayern contract talks beyond 2027

MUNICH: Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has announced that he will begin contract extension talks with the club beyond his current deal which expires in 2027. At a media day in Munich, the 33-year-old England captain hinted at the start of discussions, saying they would commence in either the current week or the next. Kane clarified, "We're calm, they're calm with the situation.

Obviously now's the time to start talking, because with only a year left it's important." The England captain joined Bayern on a four-year deal in 2023 and has contributed significantly to the club's success, achieving two Bundesliga titles, a German Cup, and reaching the Champions League semi-finals in two out of its three seasons.

Kane has scored an impressive 146 goals in 147 games for Bayern, spanning all competitions. Bayern Munich has expressed their intent to extend Kane's contract, considering him their "best transfer ever." German World Cup winner Lothar Matthäus praised Kane, believing he should be the frontrunner for the Ballon d'Or, awarded in October, citing Kane's stellar season with 61 goals in 51 games.
