Overview
- Kane rejoined FC Bayern training on Monday and said formal contract-extension talks will start "this or next week," with both sides describing the process as relaxed but substantive.
- The striker’s current contract runs until summer 2027 and media reports say his representatives have proposed an extension to 2029, though Bayern and Kane have not confirmed specific terms.
- Bayern executives including Jan-Christian Dreesen and club elder Uli Hoeneß have publicly signalled a strong desire to keep Kane, while negotiations remain ongoing.
- Kane will receive the Golden Shoe at the FC Bayern Museum on August 19 in a ceremony streamed by Joyn, and he continues to be discussed as a Ballon d’Or candidate after scoring 36 Bundesliga goals and 61 in all competitions last season.
- Talks carry extra urgency because Bayern face the Supercup on August 22 and the Bundesliga opener soon after, and reported outside interest from Barcelona, Tottenham and Saudi clubs could affect the club’s negotiation stance.
