Bayern make an offer for Harry Kane

Bayern Munich has decided to open talks with Harry Kane to extend his contract, which currently runs until June 2027. The English striker had opted to wait until after the World Cup before addressing the topic. That moment has now arrived.

The salary stays the same, but the length changes

This isn't your typical negotiation. According to Sport Bild, sporting director Max Eberl is at the table, along with president Jan-Christian Dreesen, who was already present when Kane signed in 2023. On the player's side, his father Pat and brother Charlie are handling the discussions.

Kane remains the highest-paid player at the club, earning around 25 million euros per year. Unlike other players over 30, he isn't expected to see his salary decrease. The real sticking point is the contract length. Bayern are offering a deal until 2029, while Kane is leaning towards 2030.

Our analysis

The fact that Bayern is acting now, a year before Kane's current deal enters its final year, is no coincidence. At 33, the striker is reaching an age where negotiations often swing in favor of the player, or push clubs to sell rather than risk losing them on a free. By moving early, Bayern is making sure they don't find themselves on the back foot next year.

The gap between the two proposals is just one season. That suggests a deal could be reached fairly quickly, especially since salary—a common stumbling block—isn't an issue here. The real question is age: a contract lasting until 2030 would see Kane playing until he's 37. That's a gamble Bayern seem ready to take, given his current form and importance to the squad.
