Eberl on Kane extension at FC Bayern: "Let's see what happens on Tuesday"

What is known so far about the talks

Eberl also pointed to the timing of the talks: further information is expected on Tuesday. This brought a possible agreement with Kane within reach, but it remained formally open.

At FC Bayern, Kane is considered a key player in attack. In the current 2025/26 season, he continues to be part of Munich's regular lineup. From the club's surroundings, it was said they wanted to extend the contract on a long-term basis.

National team questions also play into the discussion. Kane captains the England side; in the upcoming international match schedule, England is in action in World Cup qualifying.

Impact on squad planning

Eberl's predecessor at the head of the sporting department had recently faced criticism over personnel decisions. With the Kane extension, Eberl could set an initial sporting-political signal.

FC Bayern is under sporting pressure. After finishing third last season, the aim for the new campaign is once again to mount a title challenge. An extended collaboration with Kane is considered an important building block internally.

Alongside Kane, there has also been recent speculation about extending Jamal Musiala's contract. Both players symbolically stand for Munich's attacking direction under coach Vincent Kompany.

How things could proceed

It remains open in what timeframe a new contract is to be signed. Eberl's hint at the Tuesday appointment suggests that an agreement could be possible within a few days.

If the talks are successful, it would be Eberl's first contract extension as sporting director of FC Bayern. In the industry, the ongoing negotiations are therefore being watched particularly closely.
