Harry Kane’s contract extension talks with Bayern Munich are set to accelerate ahead of the World Cup. The discussions come after Kane scored in crucial matches, including a recent DFB Cup semi-final.
Bayern Munich won 2-0 against Bayer Leverkusen, with Kane netting the opening goal from the penalty spot. Luis Díaz added the second goal in stoppage time. This victory secured Bayern’s place in the DFB Cup final.
In addition to his DFB Cup performance, Kane also scored in the Champions League semi-final against PSG. However, Bayern lost that match 5-4. Despite this setback, Bayern’s sporting director Max Eberl confirmed plans to extend Kane’s contract before the World Cup.
Kane’s family is involved in discussions regarding his future at Bayern Munich. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge stated, “It is well known that he had a release clause. He did not invoke it, thereby signalling that he will definitely stay in Munich.” This suggests a commitment to continue his career with the club.
Key match statistics:
- Kane scored from the penalty spot in the Champions League semi-final at 22 minutes.
