  "account": "Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has confirmed that England captain Harry Kane is close to signing a new contract with the club. Dreesen expressed positivity about the situation, praising Kane as \"fantastic\" and expressing pride in having the Ballon d’Or winner at the club. Kane, who recently won the Ballon d’Or, is currently in the final stages of contract negotiations with Bayern Munich. His existing deal expires at the end of 2027, but the new agreement is expected to extend his stay at the club until at least 2029. Kane's performance since joining Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023 has been exceptional, contributing significantly to the team's success under manager Vincent Kompany. Both the club and Kane have shown their commitment to prolonging their partnership, with an agreement in principle already reached earlier this month.",
