Overview
- Kane returned to Bayern training in mid‑August and told journalists he expects formal contract talks to begin “this week or next.”
- The striker has one year left on his current deal and both Bayern and German media report the club wants to extend him, with a new contract reportedly likely to run at least until 2029.
- Saudi club Al‑Hilal met Kane’s representatives over the summer but multiple outlets judge a transfer this window unlikely.
- Kane arrives at talks on the back of an exceptional 2025/26 season, when he scored 61 goals in 51 matches, and he recently received the European Golden Boot for that campaign.
- Upcoming milestones that could shape negotiations include the Ballon d’Or vote in October and the closing of the transfer window, which will affect clubs’ leverage and Bayern’s planning.
