Overview
- Kane scored in an 8-1 win over Wolfsburg to reach 20 league goals this season, matching Timo Konietzka as the first player in roughly 60 years to hit 20 in each of his first three Bundesliga campaigns.
- He has 31 goals in 26 matches across all competitions and remains on pace to challenge Robert Lewandowski’s 41-goal Bundesliga single-season mark and contend for the European Golden Boot.
- Kicker reporting relayed by Yahoo says initial, informal exchanges over a new contract have taken place, with Bayern planning to present a formal offer before the summer World Cup and considering extensions through 2028 or 2029.
- Sport Bild’s Christian Falk reports growing club confidence in an extension and says there were no new talks during the winter break, with a reported January clause active and a separate 2026 trigger figure around £57m/€77m.
- CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen praised Kane’s impact and said discussions will occur at the right time, as Bayern also evaluate secondary striker options and are not expected to buy loanee Nicolas Jackson permanently.
