Kane, who joined Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023, has been in sensational form in Germany, scoring 146 goals in 147 appearances across all competitions. His current contract is due to expire at the end of the coming season, but Bayern are hopeful of securing the 33-year-old on a longer deal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBoth parties are very keen to extend his contract. Now we need to make sure those expectations align and that we find common ground. As far as I know, he is still in the USA. We will speak when he returns, as we had arranged,\u201d Dreesen told reporters on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kane has established himself as one of the greatest strikers in Bundesliga history in a remarkably short period.

The England captain also enjoyed another successful international campaign, helping his country finish third at the FIFA World Cup 2026.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
