Bayern Munich Waiting for Harry Kanes Release Clause to Expire

Bayern Munich plans to wait until Harry Kane’s €65 million release clause expires in January before negotiating a contract extension. Kane, contracted until 2027, must inform Bayern by January if he wishes to leave. The club values his technical ability and believes he can maintain elite performance even as he nears 34.

When the details of Harry Kane’s release clause surfaced, it became clear that Bayern Munich is carefully managing its next move. The English striker, currently under contract until 2027, has a €65 million release clause that remains valid only if he informs the club of his desire to leave before the end of January. Reports from Bild’s Tobi Altschäffl suggest that Bayern intends to wait until February, once the clause expires, before beginning negotiations for a contract extension.

The club is reportedly very pleased with Kane’s contributions since joining, valuing his exceptional technical ability and football intelligence over concerns about age. Even though he will be 34 when his contract ends, Bayern believes Kane’s game sense will allow him to remain effective, potentially shifting into a deeper playmaking role as he grows older.

His performance in the recent Der Klassiker demonstrated his increased involvement across the pitch, underlining his adaptability. Meanwhile, Bayern continues to dominate on the field, recording a 4-0 Champions League win over Club Brugge, maintaining their strong run of form under Vincent Kompany. The club’s focus now lies on extending Kane’s stay while sustaining their momentum across all competitions.
