"We're in good talks. We're fairly close. There's still some things that we need to iron out. I'm happy there. I think it won't be too long before there's some sort of announcement," Harry Kane said as talks over a new Bayern München deal moved into public view. He joined from Tottenham in 2023 for £86m, is in the last season of a four-year deal, and has 152 goals in 154 games for Bayern.
Bayern stay and the numbers behind it
The contract line fits what Bayern are getting on the pitch. Kane has 6 goals in 7 appearances across all competitions this season, and Bayern have gone unbeaten in their last five matches, scoring 19 and conceding 2. He also said, "I feel really comfortable in the team, with the coach, the environment," a line that matches the way he is describing his current setting.
Kane has not said the deal is done, and that still matters. But he has made it clear he is happy in Munich, still producing at a high level and still seeing Bayern as the right place to stay while the details are ironed out.
MLS and the NFL later on
The longer view is more unusual. Kane said, "The NFL is a lot more realistic than the golf one, let's put it that way," and added, "Maybe if I am in the MLS in the future or somewhere like that, it might be a thing where you could connect the two maybe with the seasons but again, it is in the back of my mind because right now, I am feeling that I want to play as long as I can here."
He also said he would take six months to a year to practice before trying the NFL. That is a proper commitment, not a throwaway line, and it keeps the idea in the category of a serious post-football ambition rather than a bit of off-hand chat. At 33, Kane is still focused on Bayern first, with the American detour waiting for later.
The contract talks could still be announced soon, and Bayern's fixture list means he has no shortage of football to keep him busy before any of that happens.
