Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has confidently dismissed rumors linking Harry Kane to Barcelona, insisting the club disregards such speculation. Eberl praised Kane’s phenomenal form, arguing the striker deserves the prestigious Ballon d'Or for his contributions. He confirmed Bayern intends to extend Kane’s contract beyond 2027, despite reports mentioning a €65 million release clause applicable next summer. The club recognizes the effort required to retain him long-term.
Simultaneously, Eberl addressed Joshua Kimmich’s future, announcing a scheduled meeting for January 2026. He emphasized Kimmich’s comfort in Munich, brushing off departure concerns.
Barcelona reportedly inquired about Kane as a potential successor to Robert Lewandowski, navigating a difficult and expensive landscape. However, their financial constraints make any potential transfer challenging. Ultimately, Eberl’s statements underline Bayern’s commitment to supporting Kane’s individual and collective ambitions, prioritizing his stay over external interest, while ensuring key figures like Kimmich remain central to their strategic future plans.
