Ex-Bayern boss on Kane’s future: “It’s wide open” | OneFootball

Harry Kane scores reliably, shines as a leader – yet remains a subject of speculation. Now, a former Bayern official comments on the possible contract extension of the striker.

While FC Bayern's sporting record leaves little to be desired, personnel planning continues to be a topic of discussion. Particularly in focus: Harry Kane, whose future beyond 2027 is open. Michael Reschke, former Technical Director of the record champions, has commented extensively on this at ran.de.

“This extension will only play a minor role in Kane's decision, even if he views this personnel matter very positively,” Reschke explained regarding the contract extension of coach Vincent Kompany.

Reschke sees Kane's family environment as crucial for his future: “Regarding his contract extension, his family and himself will be the top priority. He knows which top club and top team he is currently playing for, and that obviously counts.”

Reschke believes Kane will take his time with his decision: “Kane will probably define a timeframe in which he will decide his future. But with so many games, he will not be overly concerned with it at the moment.”

Talks “maybe in the new year”

The former FCB manager believes that the English national player feels comfortable in Munich but warns against jumping to conclusions: “He currently feels very comfortable in Munich. On the other hand, he comes from the country with the best league in the world. There will be some top clubs there interested in him. But of course, there is also a lot in favor of Bayern Munich. It's an open race.”

Reschke also commented on Manuel Neuer and emphasized his special role at FC Bayern. The 68-year-old highlighted: “He is an absolute exceptional athlete and still counts among the best goalkeepers in the world.” Additionally, Neuer is a “figurehead of the club,” where age plays a subordinate role: “As long as he is fit and wants to continue playing, one must automatically consider an extension.”

Harry Kane himself had commented on possible talks about his future after the home game against Bruges regarding potential contract discussions. “The talks will not take place next month, but maybe in the new year. Then we will discuss it. We are in a good position, I feel good. We are not in a rush. Neither I nor the club, I think,” the striker explained to BILD.
