  "account": "Harry Kane, the Bayern Munich striker, has revealed that talks have begun to extend his contract with the club beyond 2027, according to a report on Friday. Speaking after Bayern's 5-1 home win over Stuttgart in the Bundesliga season opener, the 33-year-old affirmed that negotiations had commenced regarding a contract extension. \"The first meeting started last week,\" Kane stated.\n\nKane, who joined Bayern in 2023 from Tottenham, is seen as one of the frontrunners for the upcoming Ballon d’Or, to be presented in his hometown of London in August. He acknowledged that numerous details still need to be discussed but expressed his hope to continue his tenure at Bayern. \"I’m 33. It’s probably going to be, not my last contract. But it’s a big contract for me to sign,\" he remarked. Both parties, according to Kane, are not in any rush and are content with the ongoing negotiations. \"I’m sure we’ll get to a point where both sides are happy.\"\n\nLast season, Kane scored 36 goals in 31 Bundesliga games, ranking third in the German top-flight for goal count that season. He also helped Bayern secure the league and cup double. Over his entire career with Bayern and the England national team, Kane has netted 73 goals, including six during the World Cup when England reached the semi-finals.",
