„He’s the second Beckham“: Matthäus declares Kane a global brand | OneFootball

Harry Kane is on a record-breaking mission. 28 goals after 23 Bundesliga matchdays – exactly the tally with which Robert Lewandowski laid the foundation for his historic 41-goal mark in the 2020/21 season. The Englishman from FC Bayern is thus following in the footsteps of one of the greatest records in league history

Kane scored his next brace in the 3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt and once again underlined his exceptional consistency. The 32-year-old has long been more than just a goalscorer, he is the heart of Munich’s attack – and now also the face of the league

„Anything is possible,“ said Kane recently, referring to Lewandowski’s record. „There’s still a long way to go, of course, and it’s an incredible record. I’m in a good mood.“ The numbers prove him right. And the Bayern striker is already looking to add to his tally in the classic at Borussia Dortmund

In addition to the record-breaking run, Kane’s future is also a topic of conversation. His contract in Munich runs until 2027, but Lothar Matthäus is convinced that the partnership will continue beyond that date

„He is now winning title after title, which he didn’t manage to do before in England. I see no reason why Harry Kane should leave this club or its environment,“ the record international explained on Sky. For Matthäus, one thing is clear: „He will be extended. I’m sure of that. Bayern Munich will do everything they can.“

According to information from Munich, initial talks could begin in the spring. Although there is interest from Saudi Arabia and FC Barcelona, Kane and his family feel at home in the Bavarian capital. He also enjoys the utmost trust under coach Vincent Kompany

„The second Beckham“

Matthäus goes even further and emphasizes Kane’s appeal: „He’s a global brand, he’s the second Beckham because everyone in the world knows him.“ The goalscorer has long been a global figurehead for the Bundesliga – both in sport and in the media

In August 2023, Kane moved from Tottenham to Munich for a record transfer fee. Since then, he has been scoring goals on an assembly line. If he keeps up his current pace, he could not only become the record scorer of a season, but also enter the history books of German soccer for good

There is still a long way to go, but the direction is clear: Harry Kane is on the march – on a Lewandowski course.
