Harry Kane plans Bayern Munich contract extension despite ongoing Manchester United interest

Harry Kane is reportedly focused on extending his Bayern Munich contract rather than joining Manchester United in the near future. The 33-year-old striker is enjoying a prolific spell in Germany and is viewed as a leading Ballon d’Or contender, while Bayern are keen to keep him beyond his current deal. Although a return to the Premier League could eventually appeal to Kane as he pursues Alan Shearer’s goalscoring record, reports indicate he is happy at Bayern and sees the club as meeting his current ambitions. Negotiations are progressing, but Kane has suggested that an agreement may still take several weeks or months. Any new contract could include a release clause, preserving the possibility of a future move to England and keeping United among his potential suitors.
Kane has won five honours during his two full seasons at Bayern Munich, strengthening the case that the club is already fulfilling his ambitions.
Kane became the fastest player to reach 100 Bundesliga goals, achieving the milestone in just 98 appearances.
After reaching the Bundesliga milestone, Kane said: “All I can say is that I enjoy every minute of it. I’m extremely happy here,” offering further evidence of his satisfaction in Germany.
Reports suggest the proposed Bayern deal could run until 2029, with Kane seeking a release clause that would preserve the option of another Premier League spell before retirement.
Kane has scored 152 goals in 154 matches for Bayern since joining from Tottenham in 2023 for a reported fee of about £86 million.
