While FC Bayern are celebrating their 35th championship and dreaming of the double, plans for the future are already being made behind the scenes, with Harry Kane apparently at the top of the list of priorities
The English superstar is set to stay in Munich for the long term and , as reported by kicker, concrete talks have already taken place between the club and the player regarding a contract extension
Bayern apparently offers until 2029
Kane’s contract currently runs until 2027. According to information from kicker, FC Bayern have already offered the goalscorer an extension until 2029. BILD recently reported that a new contract until 2028 is on the table, with the option of a further season
However, Kane himself is reportedly looking for a longer term. The 32-year-old is said to want a contract until 2030 – by which time the England captain would be almost 37 years old
It is precisely this point that is apparently causing intense internal discussions
However, it is hardly surprising that Bayern are keen to extend his contract. Since his move from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2023, Kane has been the absolute difference-maker in Munich. He has now secured the top scorer’s crown three times in a row
Together with Michael Olise and Luis Díaz, the Englishman forms the most dangerous attack in Europe. This season alone, Bayern even broke a historic club record from the 1971/72 season with 122 Bundesliga goals
Kane and his family are said to have settled in completely in Munich. The striker also apparently sees the best sporting prospects at the record champions. Kane has already won two championships, and the next title could follow next weekend with the DFB Cup
The Champions League in particular remains a major goal for the Englishman
According to kicker, those close to him say that Kane sees Bayern as a great opportunity to actually win the trophy in the coming years
Salary becomes the sticking point
Nevertheless, there are still several unresolved issues in the poker game. Above all, the financial framework is considered complicated. According to reports, the top English goalscorer currently earns 24-25 million euros per season. Kane is unlikely to be prepared to forego a salary in the future – especially as, according to kicker, he could probably earn around twice as much abroad. In plain language, this means that an extension until 2030 could cost Bayern an additional 60-70 million euros in salary
The high salary levels within the Bayern squad are also making talks more difficult, with the long-term mega-contracts of Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies in particular continuing to cause internal discussions
Despite all the unresolved issues, Bayern are currently still considered the favourites for an extension. The relationship between club, player and family is considered excellent, and CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has recently emphasized how comfortable Kane feels in Munich.
