Rummenigge praises Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane’s evolution as the club prepares contract extension talks
admin_news
Few transfers in recent FC Bayern Munich’s memory have had more impact as that of Englishman striker Harry Kane. According for member of the Supervisory and former CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the club has no intention of letting the striker go and end their story together soon.
In an interview with T-online journalist Julian Buhl (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Rummenigge talked about Kane’s future, describing how the club is working with the striker for a contract extension. “Bringing Harry Kane to Bayern was a major coup in the club’s history. It’s well known that he had a release clause in his contract with us. He didn’t activate it, signaling that he would definitely stay in Munich. And now, the management will hold talks with him sometime after the season, with the clear aim of extending his contract,” said Rummenigge.
Rummenigge also pointed out the continuous evolution of the striker’s abilities under coach Vincent Kompany and his importance for the curren squad setup. “Because Harry has undergone another transformation under Vincent Kompany. He’s always been a great striker who scored a lot of goals. But now he’s a playmaker, dropping back into midfield and using his wonderful long passes to bring Michael Olise and Luis Díaz into the game. That’s very important for our style of play.”
BFW Analysis
If Rummenigge’s comments are any indication, Bayern Munich might be very close of announcing a contract extension with its star striker; although with the upcoming World Cup, which could potentially increase Kane’s market price, it’s doubtful that any concrete talks materialize before the end the global tournament, even if some reports suggest that.
