Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane confirmed on Friday he has started talks to extend his deal at the German champions beyond 2027. Speaking with reporters after Bayern’s dominant 5-1 home win over Stuttgart in the Bundesliga season opener, Kane said negotiations had begun a contract extension. The 33-year-old forward is among the favourites for the Ballon d’Or, which will be awarded in his hometown of London in August.
“The first meeting started last week,” Kane said.
“They need to make sure I’m happy. There’s no panic from either side. The England captain scored 36 goals in 31 Bundesliga games last term, the third most in a German top-flight campaign, while winning the league and cup double. In total, he scored 73 goals for club and country last season, including six at the World Cup as England made it to the semi-finals.
Kane said “a lot of details” needed to be discussed but hoped to continue his stay at Bayern, who he joined in 2023 from boyhood club Tottenham. Bayern have repeatedly said they would like to extend Kane’s deal at the club, which expires at the end of this season.
