Harry Kane says a new contract with Bayern Munich is "extremely close" and will happen "within the next few days." The England captain, 33, is nearing the end of the four‑year deal signed after leaving Tottenham Hotspur in summer 2023. He scored 73 goals last season, winning two trophies in Germany and guiding England to third at the World Cup. Kane recently collected the Ballon d'Or in London and believes the deal is more "days than weeks" as lawyers work out final details.
Bayern faces a "rollercoaster" week of injuries, with Ismael Saibari, Serge Gnabry, Vincent Kompany, Michael Olise and Manuel Neuer all sidelined. Assistant coach Aaron Danks will manage Tuesday’s Champions League clash at Atlético Madrid, where Diego Simeone’s side aims to extend an unbeaten run to ten games despite missing suspended midfielder Morten Hjulmand. Kane stresses team focus, saying he would swap the next Ballon d'Or for a Champions League triumph. "It has been a 2-2 ride," he noted, urging the squad to push on together.
