Kane set to begin talks over new Bayern contract

What the report says

Harry Kane says he is prepared to open contract talks with Bayern Munich, with the striker entering the final year of the deal he signed after joining from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023. BBC Sport reports that discussions between Kane and the Bundesliga champions are expected to begin in the coming week or two, with both sides described as relaxed about the situation.

The 33-year-old has been a prolific scorer for Bayern, including 61 goals in 51 appearances across all competitions last season as Vincent Kompany’s team won both the league and the cup. He has also won three straight Bundesliga Golden Boots and has 98 goals in 94 league games across three seasons in Germany, according to the BBC.

Kane said the timing was right to start talking because only one year remains on his current contract. The report also notes that he has just come off a strong 2026 World Cup for England, where he scored six times and became his country’s leading World Cup scorer. While he is among the early favourites for the 2026 Ballon d’Or, Kane said his focus is on the new season rather than individual awards.

The situation matters because Kane remains one of Bayern’s most important players and one of the highest-profile forwards in European football, so any extension would shape the club’s long-term planning.
