Overview

• German journalist Raphael Honigstein told talkSPORT that Bayern are braced for the possibility Kane leaves before his 2027 contract expires and that a decision point is approaching.
• Kane’s deal runs until summer 2027, leaving Bayern to weigh an extension against the risk of losing value if they wait too long.
• Nicolas Jackson joined from Chelsea on an initial loan with an obligation to buy and is viewed as a backup and eventual successor rather than an immediate replacement.
• Reports indicate Kane wants to finish his career in England, with his pursuit of Alan Shearer’s Premier League scoring record frequently cited as a factor.
• Kane remains focused on Bayern’s immediate aims after noting before the season that the squad is one of the smallest he has played in.
