Bayern Munich CEO Shares Update On Harry Kane Contract Situation

Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has responded to Harry Kane’s admission that he could extend his stay at the Allianz Arena beyond 2027.

Kane, who has been unstoppable in front of goal since he joined the German heavyweights from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2023, recently visited a fan club where he opened the door to extending his contract well beyond his current deal.

When asked by reporters about these “positive signals” from Harry Kane during a recent media chat, Dreesen did not hide his satisfaction at the comments.

According to the executive, Bayern views the England captain as the cornerstone of the club’s current project and welcomed the player’s public declaration of commitment.

“If he said that, then I am happy about it,” Dreesen said at a fan club. “He is very important to our team with his goals, his style of play and his leadership skills.”

Kane’s current contract is set to expire in June 2027, and the Bavarian club is approaching the window where extension talks typically become a priority.

The former Tottenham forward will represent England at the 2026 World Cup in what will likely be his last appearance at the tournament.

His next contract is also likely be the last major deal of his impressive career. Despite reports linking him with club in the MLS and Saudi Arabia, Dreesen stated that there is no immediate panic to put pen to paper.

“We will certainly speak to each other at the appropriate and right time,” Dreesen said. “We have great trust in the process and in Harry.”

Harry Kane has become an integral player in the Bayern squad since his 2023 arrival from Tottenham. A mainstay in Vincent Kompany’s starting XI, the England national team captain has not shown any sign of slowing down.
