World footballer 2026: Eberl believes in Kane triumph | OneFootball

Harry Kane has once again had an outstanding season at FC Bayern – crowned by a hat-trick in the cup final against Stuttgart. Max Eberl believes the striker deserves the Ballon d’Or

In the season just ended, Harry Kane scored more goals in every competition than he played in – an absurd statistic, but that is not the only reason why he is of exceptional importance to FC Bayern

After the cup final against Stuttgart, his coach Vincent Kompany particularly emphasized Kane’s character: „I have no idea how you can score so many goals in your career and still just look like one of them,“ enthused the coach

For sporting director Max Eberl, Kane’s chances of winning the Ballon d’Or are therefore good. „In my opinion, Harry Kane has the right to win the Ballon d’Or. I don’t know if the decision will be made solely on the basis of the Champions League, but Harry should definitely be in the conversation,“ said the 51-year-old

Will Kane stay at FC Bayern?

Kane’s world footballer-worthy performances have not only impressed FC Bayern, but the man who Uli Hoeneß described as the „best transfer of all time“ after the cup final has attracted particular interest from FC Barcelona

However, the honorary president ruled out the possibility of selling Kane in the same breath. The German record champions are „a buyers‘ club, not a sellers‘ club“. In any case, Barça have „no money“ to finance a transfer of this magnitude

Kane himself also made it clear after the game that he sees his future in Munich. „I’m very happy. I’ve already made that clear to you. I’ve settled in really well here,“ Kane told the journalists

The Englishman was also confident about staying in Munich beyond 2027: „I think both sides are happy with each other. Let’s see what happens.“ A contract extension therefore seems to be only a matter of time.
