Bayern contract extension with Kane? Here’s what Eberl says | OneFootball

Will FC Bayern extend the contract of star striker Harry Kane? Sporting director Max Eberl comments on the matter.

Before the departure for the Champions League match against FC Paphos, sporting director Max Eberl spoke about Harry Kane and his future at FC Bayern. The 32-year-old striker, who has recently been the subject of recurring rumors about a possible return to England, remains a key player for Munich – and a contract extension is on the table for the club.

“Harry is an exceptional player for us, an absolute leader. He made it clear that he wanted to come to Bayern. He also said it’s awesome to play with us and to win titles. We want to continue that with him for a long time. That’s why we’ll calmly discuss the next steps with him,” Eberl explained before the team’s departure to Cyprus.

Despite Kane’s age of 32, the sporting director does not rule out extending his contract. “I learned from my old mentor Hans Meyer: what matters is the mix. If you have a good mix, you can also keep older players who simply have incredible quality for longer. Harry is showing right now that he doesn’t seem old at all, he seems to have fallen into the fountain of youth, given how active he is on the pitch. For us, that’s absolutely conceivable!” Eberl emphasized.

He reacted calmly to the recently discussed Ballon d’Or rankings, where Kane finished 13th and Michael Olise 30th. “I’m not going as far as Real Madrid and boycotting. Of course, it’s also about titles, you have to be honest. But the performances our players are showing—Jamal last season, but also Michael Olise or Harry—these evaluations are subjective, everyone is entitled to their opinion. We’ll do everything we can to be successful as a team, and then we’ll get a better ranking,” said the Bayern boss.

In the short term, the focus is on the competitive match in Cyprus. “Actually, everyone expects us to win in Cyprus. We want to win there, no question. It’s always a bit tougher away from home. We have to bring our qualities onto the pitch, that energy, that dominance we have. If we do that, we should win the game,” said Eberl.

For Kane, the match offers another opportunity to continue his impressive scoring record and help Bayern to victory in the Champions League once again with his goals.
