Harry Kane has apparently made a clear decision about his future. The striker wants to extend his contract with FC Bayern. Crucial talks are now on the horizon.
An important contract extension is on the horizon at FC Bayern. Harry Kane has apparently signaled to club officials that he sees his future remaining with the German record champions and would like to extend his contract, which currently runs through 2027.
As Sky reports , the 33-year-old has already given the green light internally for an extension. “Kane has said yes. The Bayern bosses have been informed. Kane is set to extend his contract with Bayern,” explained Sky reporter Kerry Hau.
This gives the Munich club planning certainty from the player’s side regarding one of its most important players. However, the extension is not yet fully finalized. Kane is currently still on special leave following the World Cup and is expected back in Munich in the coming days.
After that, talks between the striker and Bayern officials are set to move forward decisively.
Bayern plans new Kane contract through 2029
According to information from Sky, a new contract running through 2029 is under discussion. Crucially, Kane is not expected to have to accept a pay cut. The Englishman is already one of the highest earners at FC Bayern. Most recently, there was talk of an annual salary of around 25 million euros gross.
Kane’s life off the field also appears to be a key factor in his decision. The forward feels very at home in Munich with his family. As a result, it has become increasingly clear in recent weeks that a return to England is not a priority for him at this time.
For FC Bayern, extending the contract with its star striker is a top priority. According to Sky, this matter is at the very top of the club’s agenda, alongside the planned departures of Joao Palhinha, Sacha Boey, and Bryan Zaragoza.
From a sporting perspective, too, there is little doubt about how important Kane is to Vincent Kompany’s team. Since his move from Tottenham to Munich, the center forward has not only been one of the most reliable goal scorers but has also emerged as one of the team’s leaders off the field.
Recently, signs pointing toward a contract extension had already become increasingly clear. The English newspaper The Times also reported that Kane was, in principle, willing to extend his contract. Bayern’s executives have also publicly expressed their extreme satisfaction with the striker on multiple occasions.
Now, the key prerequisite for a deal appears to have been met: Kane himself wants to stay. As soon as the Englishman returns to Munich, concrete negotiations can move into the next phase.
