Bayern chief reveals: "We had sleepless nights over Harry Kane" | OneFootball

Harry Kane remains the central figure at FC Bayern – both on and off the pitch. After the commanding 4-0 victory over Werder Bremen, CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen spoke about the Englishman’s mega-transfer and offered a behind-the-scenes look.

“Sometimes I’m really tempted to pull out the notes from 2023. We certainly had more than a few sleepless nights over this transfer,” Dreesen explained with a smile.

However, the effort has more than paid off: With his brace against Bremen, Kane scored his 99th and 100th goals for the record champions – in just 104 games. No professional in Europe’s top leagues has reached this milestone faster since 2000. Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland each needed 105 matches.

The ongoing transfer speculation surrounding Kane leaves Bayern’s management unfazed. “I don’t have the feeling that he’s thinking about anything other than FC Bayern. I believe this has been discussed more publicly than it ever was an issue for us,” Dreesen emphasized.

Kane himself also made it clear that he feels very comfortable in Munich. “I’m doing well. The club is doing well. I think they’re happy with me, and I’m happy with them. Such talks [about an extension] could take place,” said the 32-year-old. He also added that his family is “happy” in Munich.

Sporting director Christoph Freund was also optimistic: “There are a lot of rumors about FC Bayern players. But when you see how comfortable Harry feels here and how he works, I believe and hope that he’ll be at FC Bayern for a long time.”

While fans, media, and experts discuss a possible Kane departure, things remain calm in Munich. Both the club and the player know what they have in each other.
