Kane and Bayern Munich start talks on contract extension

Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl says the German club are in talks with Harry Kane about extending the striker's contract

The 32-year-old England captain joined on a four-year deal from Tottenham in August 2023 in a move worth an initial 100m euros (£86.4m). Kane has since scored 119 goals and registered 30assists in 126 games for Bayern and clinched the first major trophy of his career when he helped them win the 2024-25 Bundesliga title.

"We're talking to Harry,we're talking. Everyone knows at some point a decision has to be made,"Eberl said at a Bundesliga event in Frankfurt.

In October, Kane said he"could definitely" see himself staying at Bayern, and that his desire to return to the Premier League had "gone down a little bit". Thisseason he has scored 34 times in 30 games for Vincent Kompany's side, including21 goals in 19 Bundesliga outings as he tries to beat former Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski's record of 41 goals in a single Bundesliga campaign.

Kane has also helped Bayern to second place in the Champions League group phase table with one game to go.

"Harry has great confidence in us and he feels comfortable in Munich. He and his family are settled in.Therefore we've got absolutely no reason to rush," said Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen.
