'Perfect player for us': Bayern hope Kane stays for years to come | OneFootball

The signs are increasing that Bayern has a strong interest in extending the contract with top scorer Harry Kane. According to sports director Christoph Freund, they hope the Englishman will stay in Munich for several more years.

Harry Kane is currently playing a season for the history books – and all the officials at FC Bayern are thrilled. After the 3-0 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt, sports director Christoph Freund praised the English striker in the talk show Sky90 in the highest terms.

“Incredible form – I believe the best Harry Kane there has ever been,” Freund enthused. The 32-year-old is indispensable not only because of his goals but also because of his team-oriented playing style. “He is simply an incredibly important player for us, the perfect player for us, and Harry feels very comfortable in Munich, with the team and his family,” emphasized the sports director.

With 21 goal involvements (18 goals, 3 assists), Kane is significantly contributing to FC Bayern's dream start to the new season.

Kane's current contract with the German record champions runs until 2027. According to Freund, the joint future could last much longer: “We hope that his time in Munich will be several more years – possibly even beyond 2027.”

With these words, Freund made it clear what a central role Kane plays in the club's sporting plans. The Englishman embodies Bayern's new self-image under Vincent Kompany – as a goal guarantor, leader, and role model for the entire team.

When Bayern will specifically address the topic of extension, Freund did not want to reveal: “It is still too early to talk about it in detail. I think both sides can well imagine continuing to work together even after the current contract expires.”

Kane himself recently emphasized that he feels “completely comfortable” in Munich and can certainly imagine talks about an extension. Everything indicates that the Harry Kane era at FC Bayern has just begun.
