FC Bayern have taken the next step in one of their most important personnel matters. The Munich club have officially opened talks with Harry Kane about a contract extension and want to tie the goalscorer to the club for the long term.
As reported by Sky, concrete talks are now underway between the club and the player, confirmed by sporting director Max Eberl: „We are in talks with Harry,“ he said. Bayern’s aim is to extend the Englishman’s contract beyond the current expiry date, with new terms in place until 2028 or even 2029.
According to the report, Kane himself is extremely open to staying. The 32-year-old feels completely at home at FC Bayern, appreciates the club, the fans and life in Munich. He is not currently considering a move and can well imagine continuing to spend his future at Säbener Straße.
Bayern want to create clarity at an early stage
The opening of talks is in line with Munich’s internal strategy. It has been known for some time that FC Bayern wants to create planning certainty for its most important attacking player at an early stage – ideally before the 2026 World Cup. Those responsible at the club want to prevent speculation about Kane’s future arising around the tournament or external interested parties causing unrest.
The fact that talks are now official underlines the mutual will. Kane is the central element of Bayern’s attack in sporting terms and impresses not only with his goals but also with his leadership qualities. For the record champions, he is the face of the project under Vincent Kompany.
However, there is no time pressure: although the Englishman’s contract is still valid for several years, Bayern want to seize the right moment to create facts. The talks should be conducted calmly – without any public frenzy, but with a clear direction.
Everything indicates that both sides are aiming for a shared future. It remains to be seen when an agreement will be reached, but one thing is clear: the course has been set for a long-term extension for Harry Kane at FC Bayern.
