- Kane expects to sign a new Bayern deal within days
- First English Ballon d’Or winner since Michael Owen in 2001
- Missed a penalty as Bayern drew 2-2 with Borussia Dortmund
Harry Kane has ended the whispering about a Premier League return by confirming he’s on the brink of a new Bayern Munich contract — and yes, we’re talking days, not weeks, after lifting the Ballon d’Or. The 33-year-old, whose current deal runs out next summer after signing a four-year contract in 2023, says the finishing touches are all that remain.
Kane’s Contract Nears the Finish Line
Speaking before Tuesday’s Champions League trip to Atletico Madrid, Kane was bullish: it’s “more days than weeks”. He revealed that “the bigger stuff has been ironed out” and only the fine print is with the lawyers. In other words, the key framework is settled; it’s administrative tidying from here. For those tracking the market and the mood around Bavaria — or even browsing the best football betting sites — this is a clear signal: Kane’s not going anywhere.
This should also quieten the chat about him darting back to chase Alan Shearer’s Premier League record. Extending at the Allianz Arena is a statement of intent: Bayern remain the project, and Kane’s leadership up top is non-negotiable.
Ballon d’Or Lift, Dortmund Bump
On the back of a monstrous campaign — 73 goals for club and country, two trophies in Germany and leading England to third at the World Cup — Kane deservedly took home the Ballon d’Or, becoming the first Englishman to win it since Michael Owen in 2001. He showed it off to the Allianz crowd on Saturday, then endured a human moment: a missed second-half penalty and a strike off the post as Bayern drew 2-2 with Borussia Dortmund.
Even so, the bigger picture is bright. A fresh deal locks in the Bundesliga’s most reliable marksman and steadies Bayern before a testing European night in Madrid. As Kane told the fans, “I’m extremely proud to be a FC Bayern Munich player… the support since I arrived has been incredible.” The trophy cabinet is growing; now the contract is set to match the ambition.
