Harry Kane: How is England captain viewed in Germany as contract talks begin?

When Harry Kane joined Bayern Munich in 2023, it was extensively anticipated that the England captain would solely keep for a number of years to fulfil his dream of successful a handful of trophies earlier than returning to the Premier League.

A lot has been product of Kane rating second within the Premier League’s all-time goalscorer record and that he solely wants one other 48 objectives to interrupt Alan Shearer’s document.

However maybe a person document isn’t as necessary to Kane as leaving a legacy at a significant European membership.

Max Eberl, Bayern’s head of sport, has revealed that the membership are engaged on extending Kane’s contract which at present runs till 2027. Clearly, that subject material needed to come up sooner or later throughout this season, as a result of, if Kane rejects an extension, Bayern may solely earn cash by promoting him within the upcoming summer season or January switch home windows.

Fascinatingly, Eberl appeared fairly constructive when he spoke to reporters at Monday’s New 12 months reception of the German Soccer League (DFL), saying: “We’re talking with Harry.”

The sentiment has vastly modified from when Kane made the transfer from Tottenham to Bayern. The document German champions are extra assured than ever they’ll hold Kane past 2026 or 2027.

The truth that Kane has a launch clause in his contract which could possibly be triggered till the top of January and permit a summer season transfer for £56m is of no concern to Bayern. Indicators level in direction of an extension settlement which may happen within the subsequent couple of weeks.
