FC Bayern Munich wants to extend Harry Kane’s contract as soon as possible. Initial discussions took place even before the World Cup this summer. Now the timeline appears to be set, as the Englishman himself confirmed.
During the World Cup this summer, Kane’s focus was entirely on the tournament. The English forward wanted to win the World Cup with the Three Lions, but in the end, they “only” managed to finish in third place.
On Friday, Kane returned to Munich and, like Dayot Upamecano and Michael Olise, completed his fitness tests at Säbener Straße. Now, during the training week leading up to the Super Cup, he’s back with the rest of the team.
Kane Talks About Contract Extension
It’s no secret that the Englishman is very happy at FC Bayern and that his family also feels at home in Munich. That’s why the striker has turned down every possible offer, including one from FC Barcelona.
Ever since FC Bayern made it clear that they’d like to extend Kane’s contract, the focus has been solely on finalizing the deal—on both sides of the negotiations. One potential sticking point could be the contract term; the deal could be extended until 2029 or even 2030. However, that is not expected to be the deciding factor in the end.
During the Allianz Team Day—an event at the Bayern Campus that included the team presentation—Kane also commented on the upcoming talks following the record champions’ public training session.
“I only have one year left on my contract, so now is the time to talk about it. We’ll discuss it next week or the week after. Both sides are very relaxed,” the Englishman explained.
Recent reports have indicated that the star player’s salary is expected to remain at a similar level to what it is currently. Kane earns around 25 million euros gross in Munich, which naturally makes him one of the club’s highest earners.
