€65m release clause for Harry Kane (30) must be activated by January – Bayern Munich trying to extend his contract | OneFootball

Bild reports that a release clause in Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich contract must be activated by January, but the club are trying to extend his contract.

The clause is worth €65m and must be activated by January 31st 2026, by the striker himself, which would then allow him to leave the Bundesliga champions the following summer.

Bayern have no desire to try and buy out the clause, which could prove to be a financial burden. Instead, they will wait for the clause to expire before beginning talks with Kane to extend his contract beyond 2027, a new deal would not see an increase in his €24m a year salary.

Could Kane leave Bayern in the summer?

Considering the Englishman’s recent comments about staying in Germany, it is unlikely that Kane will leave Bayern next summer as things stand.

When asked about staying in Bavaria earlier this week, Kane said:

The 30-year-old is clearly enjoying life at the Rekordmeister, both on and off the pitch. He has started this season tremendously and has 18 goals and three assists in 10 games for the Bundesliga leaders this season.
