According to Falk, the second round of contract extension negotiations between Bayern Munich and Kane has begun, with talks ongoing since last weekend. Both sides are very optimistic about concluding the extension, with the new contract running until at least 2029, and Kane himself is open to signing a long-term deal.

Falk stated: "The second round of contract extension negotiations between Bayern Munich and Kane has begun. Talks have been ongoing since last weekend. The stadium in Elversberg is really small and currently undergoing renovations, so there are fewer than 10,000 spectators in the stands. Therefore, if some well-known figures appear, you can easily spot them. This time, Pat Kane and Charlie Kane were at the stadium. But this was not just a family outing. They are currently in Germany to discuss with Bayern Munich's board whether Kane will sign a new contract."

Both sides are very optimistic that he will sign a new contract. One thing is clear: the new contract will be for a minimum of two years, meaning it would run until at least 2029. However, Kane himself can also imagine signing a long-term contract."

Regarding Kane's career plans, Falk said: "He wants to participate in the 2028 European Championship and also has his eyes on the 2030 World Cup. The next question to be considered is how much salary he will receive. If it's a two-year contract, I think his salary will remain the same as now. His current annual salary is said to be around 25 million euros. If it's a long-term contract, then both sides may need to discuss whether the salary needs to be slightly reduced. There are other ideas to be discussed, such as whether the new contract needs to include a release clause. Kane had such a clause in his previous contract, where he could choose to activate it before January. But he never activated this clause because he is very happy in Munich."

Regarding rumors of Kane potentially contacting other clubs, Falk stated clearly: "The so-called rumors that he is discussing various options with other clubs simply are not true. There is no Real Madrid, no English club, and no Saudi interest. There were rumors earlier this summer that he was negotiating with the Saudi league, but in reality, neither Kane himself nor his family have had such negotiations with Saudi parties. He wants to win the Champions League with Bayern Munich."

Regarding Bayern Munich's capacity to invest in the transfer market, Falk stated that Bayern Munich has the financial strength to make impactful signings.

He said: "Look at this summer—Bayern Munich had a very clear idea at the time that they didn't want to spend more than 50 million euros. Look at what they paid for Sabitzer and Nathaniel Brown, and then consider the revenue from player sales; we're actually talking about Bayern Munich investing around 30 million euros. But on the other hand, if Bayern Munich really identifies a player, as they did with Wirtz before, then investing 100 million euros in a player they are completely convinced about is not a problem. In the end, this German player chose Liverpool, but Bayern Munich was still prepared to spend that money because they were very confident in this player.

If such a player appears on the transfer market, and Bayern Munich happens to need to reinforce that position, or if it's a German player that Bayern Munich doesn't want to see go to the Premier League, then the club can always make a move. That's what they did when they signed Kane from Tottenham Hotspur. So Bayern Munich is completely capable of completing such deals. It's just that they don't spend large sums of money every year as routinely as some other clubs."
