  "account": "Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany has confirmed that contract talks with England captain Harry Kane are progressing positively. The 33-year-old is closing in on a new deal with the champions, despite the current season being his final year on his existing contract. Since joining Bayern from Tottenham in 2023, Kane has netted 154 goals in 156 games for the club and is a front-runner for the prestigious Ballon d'Or award later this month. Speaking ahead of Bayern's upcoming match against Leipzig, Kompany noted that while a final announcement hasn't been made, \"talks are going well.\" The coach also addressed goalkeeper Michael Olise's red card, which will keep him out of the next fixture against Arsenal. Kompany further expressed Bayern's determination ahead of their home clash with Leipzig, who sit just two points behind the Allianz Arena side in the league table.",
