Done deal loading! Kane confirms he is close to signing new Bayern contract
Harry Kane has confirmed he is close to signing a new contract with Bayern Munich, putting an end to months of speculation about his future.
Details: The England captain revealed that talks with the club are going well and that an agreement is near. Kane's current deal runs until the summer of 2027, but Bayern are eager to tie down their record signing beyond that date. The striker admitted that family happiness played a huge role in his thinking, saying his wife and children feel completely at home in Bavaria. He also believes that staying in Germany will help him extend his playing career at the highest level.
According to The Independent, Kane said: "We're in good talks. We're fairly close." The 33-year-old has been a sensation in Munich since his arrival from Tottenham, and recently celebrated scoring his 100th Bundesliga goal in just 98 appearances, an all time league record. Bayern officials are said to be relaxed about the situation and confident the announcement of a new deal, reportedly until 2029, is only a matter of time.
It's worth noting that the news will come as a blow to clubs that had been monitoring Kane's situation, including Premier League sides dreaming of a homecoming. With Kane settled, scoring at a historic rate and now close to extending his stay, Bayern can build their project around him for years to come. For the Bundesliga champions, keeping their talisman happy may prove to be the most important signing of the entire season.
