Overview

• FC Bayern beat FC Pafos 5–1 for a second straight win in the Champions League ligaphase, maintaining a perfect start to the season.
• Sport director Max Eberl said the club will calmly discuss next steps on a new deal for Harry Kane and views an extension as conceivable.
• Multiple outlets report Bayern do not plan to grant a salary increase in any extension, with Kane already earning about €24 million annually to protect the wage structure.
• Kane has publicly stated he is happy in Munich and is not planning a move, despite ongoing speculation about a Premier League return.
• The striker’s 100 Bayern goals in 104 games outpaced the 100-in-105 benchmarks of Erling Haaland and Cristiano Ronaldo, and Lothar Matthäus says league scoring records are within reach if form and fitness hold.
