FC Bayern wants to extend Harry Kane’s contract as soon as possible. Talks between the record champions and the English forward are already underway, and both sides recently emphasized their confidence.
There is no clear timeline for an extension at the moment. The fact that both Bayern and the player are very relaxed about the situation is an extremely good sign.
Other offers for Kane, which certainly have come in over the course of the year, were immediately rejected by the Englishman. It’s extremely important that not only the player but also his family feels very comfortable in Munich.
Eberl Provides an Update on Kane
Before Wednesday night’s match against VfL Osnabrück, Max Eberl, FC Bayern’s sporting director, spoke about the current state of affairs regarding the English striker, who also has his sights set on the Ballon d’Or.
When asked whether the talks were now just a formality, Eberl said: “Of course, ‘formality’ is relative. The talks have to take place, just as the games have to be played—that much is clear. What I can say is: Both sides want it, so it should work out. Whether it will be easy, I don’t know, but we remain optimistic.”
The contract is set to run through the summer of 2029 or 2030. Kane’s base salary, which is quite high, is expected to remain relatively unchanged, according to various media reports. However, the Englishman also emphasized that everything has to be right, because the contract he’s about to sign will be the last major one of his career.
That’s why it’s important that both sides are satisfied. Eberl’s confidence is a positive sign, but nothing more than that for now. Anyone who has followed Kane’s career at FC Bayern so far knows that the circumstances for the Englishman could hardly be much better.
