Overview
- Harry Kane said formal negotiations to extend his Bayern contract will start "this week or next week" and described talks as calm and relaxed.
- Kane is entering the final year of his deal, which runs until June 2027, and German reports say Bayern prefer a multi‑year extension that could run at least to 2029.
- Media outlets report that representatives for Kane have held exploratory talks with Saudi side Al‑Hilal but those discussions are described as developing rather than a confirmed offer.
- Kane arrives at talks on the back of an exceptional run of form — widely reported totals cite roughly 146 goals in 147 games for Bayern and 61 goals in 2025–26 — while he has downplayed Ballon d'Or expectations.
- Bayern will weigh contract length, possible exit or matching clauses and squad depth to protect Kane’s minutes as his fitness will determine how much he plays in the Supercup and early season matches.
