Harry Kane close to new contract – Bayern CEO

Bayern Munich's CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has announced that England star Harry Kane is on the verge of signing a new contract with the German club. Speaking to Sport Bild on Wednesday, Dreesen expressed his positive outlook, saying, "I’m very positive! We are working on the details. Harry is fantastic, we’re proud to have the Ballon d’Or winner."

Kane, who recently won the Ballon d’Or, is currently in the closing stages of contract negotiations. His existing deal expires at the end of 2027, but the new agreement is anticipated to extend his stay at Bayern Munich until at least 2029. Since joining the club from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023, Kane has been instrumental in the team's success, scoring prolifically and becoming a key player under manager Vincent Kompany.

Both Bayern Munich and Kane have shown a mutual desire to prolong their partnership. An initial agreement in principle was sealed earlier this month, with the remaining details now being finalized.
