Bayern Munich have been successful with several contract extensions in the last 18 months. Dayot Upamecano’s new contract earlier this year was the latest crucial piece of business Bayern did to ensure they keep their key players at the club in the long run.
The Bundesliga champions have another big contract extension to sort out in the next couple of months. Harry Kane will be in the final year of his contract when the new season begins in August. The English forward had a release clause in his contract for the summer, but he has no plans to leave Munich during the summer transfer window.
Kane has been the best striker in the world this season. The 32-year-old has scored 53 goals for Die Roten across all competitions. He has also created seven assists for Die Roten this season.
The former Spurs striker is getting better with age, so it is a no-brainer to offer him a contract extension. Bayern also shares the same belief regarding the future of Kane. They have already held preliminary talks with Kane’s representatives for a new contract.
According to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg (via iMiaSanMia), Bayern are keen on securing the future of Kane before the World Cup. The Bavarian club has received positive signals from Kane and his family regarding a new contract.
Kane has a fantastic project at Bayern. The club competes on all fronts every season, giving Kane the opportunity to win more silverware. His family is also settled in Munich, so there is no reason to stay at the club for at least the next three years.
From a financial perspective, Kane is expected to get a boost in his wages. Since both parties are keen on a contract renewal, it is just a matter of finding an agreement on the numbers of the new deal. The Bavarian faithful will hope Die Roten can reach an agreement with Kane sooner rather than later.
Kane is likely to be a strong contender for the Ballon d’Or
Bayern have already clinched the Bundesliga title. They have also booked a place in the final of the DFB Pokal. Kane has been the heart of Bayern’s domestic success this season. They are also eying a place in the Champions League final as they play Paris Saint-Germain in the first of the semi-finals later today.
Kane has been scoring almost every game. With his contributions in the final third and a treble win with Bayern, the England international will be a strong favourite to win the next edition of the Ballon d’Or. A strong World Cup campaign with England in the summer will be the icing on the cake for the 32-year-old striker.
