Bayern Munich is waiting for Harry Kane’s release clause to expire

Bayern Munich is planning to delay contract extension talks with striker Harry Kane until February, strategically waiting for his release clause to expire. The club is highly satisfied with Kane's current form and class, emphasizing his footballing ability over concerns about his age and physical condition.

According to a report by Bild's Tobi Altschäffl, Kane's contract runs until 2027 and includes a release clause that allows him to leave for €65 million if he communicates his desire to do so by the end of January. Bayern aims to let this time-bound clause lapse before commencing negotiations to secure his long-term future with the team.

The club remains confident in Kane's ability to perform at an elite level even as he ages, noting his exceptional technical skills and footballing intelligence. His extensive involvement across the pitch, as evidenced by his heat map in the Der Klassiker fixture against Borussia Dortmund, supports the potential for a transition to a less physically demanding playmaker role in the future.
