"Open to talks: Kane hints at Bayern contract extension" | OneFootball

Harry Kane has spoken in detail for the first time about his sporting future at FC Bayern, hinting that his time with the German record champions may not end in the summer of 2027.

Just recently, Harry Kane publicly expressed that he can generally imagine staying at FC Bayern beyond the 2026/27 season. In an interview with the English Guardian, the 32-year-old spoke about possible contract talks, his satisfaction in Munich, and a possible return to the Premier League.

The English national striker, who switched from Tottenham Hotspur to FC Bayern in the summer of 2023 for around 100 million euros, has long since taken on a leadership role in Munich. After his dream start in the Bundesliga and his enormous goal rate (18 goals in ten competitive matches), Kane feels very comfortable on the Isar - and is now even hinting at a contract extension.

"As for a longer stay at FC Bayern, I could well imagine that," Kane explained in the Guardian. Although there have been no concrete talks about extending his contract, which runs until 2027, the striker emphasized that he would "openly and honestly discuss an extension if the club were to seek talks."

"Of course, everything depends on how the next year goes and what we achieve together," Kane continued. "We are in a fantastic phase, and I am not thinking about anything else."

The superstar's words are a clear signal: The English goal hunter feels at home with the German record champions, is convinced by the work under coach Vincent Kompany, and sees no sporting reason for changes.

Return to the Premier League? "That likelihood has decreased"

At the same time, Kane made it clear that a return to England is currently not a concrete issue - even if he does not want to completely close the door for the future. "As for the Premier League, I don't know," he said. "If you had asked me when I first moved to FC Bayern, I would have definitely said that I would come back. Now that I've been there a few years, I would probably say that this likelihood has decreased a bit. But I wouldn't say that I would never return."

With this statement, Kane shows that he is increasingly identifying with his new sporting home. He praised the team's development under Kompany and emphasized his satisfaction: "I am fully committed to Bayern. If there should be talks about an extension, we will see. But I still have this season and another season ahead of me - it's not as if I'm in my last year. There's no reason to panic. I'm calm, I like the coach at Bayern, and as long as we're improving and I'm improving, I'm happy to see what we can achieve."

The fact that Kane is considering his future openly, but without pressure, fits his personality. The superstar knows his value, but also the potential of this Bayern team. And as long as the title chances are as great as they currently are, he is unlikely to see any reason to yearn for a return to the island.

The officials in Munich have also recently signaled their willingness to talk. However, there is no pressure at Säbener Straße and they want to wait for the right time.
