Bayern Munich Moves to Extend Harry Kane Contract Until 2029

Bayern Munich is working to secure Harry Kane's future after sporting director Christoph Freund confirmed ongoing contract talks with the England captain. The German club is seeking an extension that could keep the striker at Bayern until 2029, according to sports reports.

Freund said negotiations are progressing positively, although no agreement has been officially signed. According to Yahoo Sports, Kane has scored 152 goals in 154 matches since joining Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023.

The striker has won the Bundesliga Golden Boot in each season with Bayern and helped the club claim two league titles and the DFB-Pokal last term, according to Yahoo Sports.

"There are always scenarios as long as it's not signed. There's no new development. The talks are going well. We're very positive, everyone knows we're determined to extend his contract and Harry feels very comfortable here." said Christoph Freund, sporting director.

Freund also addressed the future of Michael Olise, who has been linked with interest from Real Madrid. He said Bayern is relaxed because the winger remains under contract until 2029.

"Michael has had an incredible development with us and is currently one of the best players in the world. We're extremely happy he's playing for us. He's under contract until 2029, so there's no pressure.

He feels extremely comfortable at FC Bayern, and we're always in conversation with him. As I said there's no time pressure." said Christoph Freund, sporting director.

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said individual awards are not his main focus despite Kane and Olise being among the Ballon d'Or contenders. He emphasized the team's pursuit of trophies ahead of personal recognition.

"I think it's already been decided, right? So I can't change anything anymore regardless of what I say. Sorry but I don't have this Ballon d'Or in my mind every day.

Today I'm only thinking about Augsburg. I hope a Bayern player wins. But of course, it's more important to me that we win titles with Bayern.

I know Harry and Michael well, they think the same way. That's what sets us apart as a team." said Vincent Kompany, head coach.

Former Manchester United player Quinton Fortune has urged his former club to pursue Kane if an opportunity emerges. Bavarian Football Works reported that Fortune believes the striker's finishing ability would address United's attacking needs.

"He's not young but given what he's achieved, Man Utd should go and get Harry Kane as soon as possible, whatever it takes. He is exactly what they need. If there's any chance of bringing Harry Kane in, do whatever it takes because the man is a natural-born goalscorer.

Give him service and he will score goals. It's as simple as that. You give him service, he will put the ball in the back of the net.

Just go and get him. Simple as that. If there's a possibility, there's a small chance of going to it.

Don't wait any longer because what a player he is, my goodness." said Quinton Fortune, former Manchester United player.

Bayern's immediate focus remains on domestic competition, with Kompany preparing the team for the Augsburg match while the club continues discussions over Kane's contract situation.
