Bayern Munich News: The aftermath of FC Bayern’s 3-1 win over RB Leipzig; FC Barcelona going strikerless?; Cody Gakpo to Tottenham; and MORE!

✅ It is TRUE: Harry Kane is set to commit to a contract extension until 2029 at the earliest. As I mentioned previously – before The Times’ recent report on the subject – both sides were very clear: there is no idea to just extend Kane’s contract by a year. Both sides knew that the new contract would run until 2029 at a bare minimum. Perhaps there will be an opportunity to add another year on top. Kane, of course, is at such an age that Bayern can’t commit to a five-year contract. Normally, for players of the Englishman’s age, they usually just give one year, but this case is an exception.

For an indication of just how important Harry Kane is to Bayern Munich, by the way, I should mention that the club really wants to make a big deal of him winning the Golden Boot last term. There are plans in place to host a big show (shared on the club’s streaming platform) at Säbener Straße next week, and to honour Harry Kane in the Bayern museum in the stadium. So, you see, they want to do everything they can to show their appreciation for Kane, to keep him happy in Munich, and, of course, to encourage him to sign a new contract. Everyone hopes he will sign it!

Everyone can agree that a contract until 2029 would be best for both sides, so now it’s just a question of how much money they will offer in salary. I can confirm that Bayern Munich are very clear that they’re not going to offer Harry Kane less than what he’s currently on. So, with that in mind, I think the negotiations won’t be particularly lengthy.
