Kane set to begin talks over new Bayern contract

Harry Kane says he is ready to begin discussions with Bayern Munich over extending his contract with the Bundesliga champions.

Kane set to begin talks over new Bayern contract

Harry Kane is set to commence negotiations with Bayern Munich regarding a new contract extension. The 33-year-old striker finds himself in the final year of his current four-year deal, which he signed upon joining the Bundesliga champions for £86.4m from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023. Kane's stellar performance last season was on full display, netting 61 goals in 51 appearances across all competitions as Bayern secured a league and cup double.

Kane has expressed that discussions with Bayern will commence in the coming week. He emphasized that both parties are currently at ease regarding the contract matter, noting that with only a year remaining, it is crucial to begin the dialogue. The England captain, who has amassed 98 goals in 94 games over three Bundesliga seasons, including three consecutive Bundesliga Golden Boot awards, is focused on the upcoming season rather than individual honors like the Ballon d'Or.

While Kane is among the favorites for the prestigious award, he stressed that the decision lies beyond his control and remains a few months away.
