Overview
- Reports on July 29 say Bayern will begin formal contract negotiations with Harry Kane in early August once he returns from holiday.
- Bayern plan to offer an extension running to at least 2029 and are not expected to press for a salary reduction from his current top-earner level.
- Kane is reported to be open to shifting into a deeper playmaking role so he can aim for the 2030 World Cup and prolong his career.
- The club may still pursue another elite striker in summer 2027 to allow flexible formations and occasional two-striker systems under Vincent Kompany.
- Clubs including Barcelona and Saudi side Al‑Hilal have shown interest in Kane but sources say he has no desire to leave Bayern and Tottenham hold first-refusal rights if he departs.
