Bayern Munich are preparing to begin formal contract talks with Harry Kane, whose existing deal is due to expire at the end of next season. Retaining the England captain would be significant for the German champions after his prolific contribution to their recent domestic success, although he remains of interest to other clubs.

Kane joined Bayern from Tottenham in 2023 for a reported £86m and has since helped the club win two Bundesliga titles and the German Cup. The 32-year-old has scored 146 goals in 134 appearances for Bayern, while Barcelona and clubs in Saudi Arabia have been linked with potential moves.
