Berlin, Sep 27: Harry Kane is not just scoring goals in Germany — he’s rewriting the record books. Fresh off a dominant 4-0 Bundesliga victory over Bremen, in which he netted twice, the Bayern Munich striker has ignited speculation about a potential contract extension, despite having nearly two years left on his current deal.

With 100 goals in just 104 matches across Europe’s top five leagues, Kane has outpaced even the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland, who both reached the century mark in 105 games. At 32, the England captain is proving that form and fitness are no barrier to ambition — or loyalty.

Speaking after the match, Kane hinted that discussions about staying longer at Bayern are likely on the horizon. "That's something we can surely talk about," he said with a smile, while also acknowledging that there’s no rush, and that both he and the club are content with where things stand.

Kane’s move to Munich in 2023 for a staggering €100 million came with a reported exit clause for the summer of 2026, worth around €65 million. Rumours continue to swirl about a return to the Premier League — particularly Tottenham — as Kane is still chasing Alan Shearer’s all-time Premier League goal record of 260. With 213 to his name, it’s a goal that remains tantalisingly within reach.

But in Bavaria, he’s thriving. Ten goals in just five league games have fans wondering if he could topple Robert Lewandowski’s legendary 41-goal season. "If things continue, it's possible," Kane said, visibly energised by the challenge. His own joke about hunting down his next 100 goals "even faster" only added fuel to the fire.

Bayern’s leadership is equally enthusiastic. Sporting director Max Eberl called Kane the team’s "leader" and praised his "hunger for success." Head coach Vincent Kompany was even more direct, calling his performances "outstanding" and highlighting his inner drive. Chairman Jan-Christian Dreesen noted Kane’s evident happiness, describing him as "pleased and visibly at ease" in the locker room.

And it’s not just about goals. Kane’s family is reportedly thriving in Munich as well, and the striker emphasised that their comfort is central to his satisfaction with life at Bayern. “We’re all extremely happy here,” he said, adding that the pursuit of trophies remains his main focus.

Still, Bayern’s Champions League campaign could shape the narrative. After opening with a 3-1 win over Chelsea, the Bavarians now prepare to face Cypriot side Paphos FC in their next group match. A strong run in Europe may be the key to convincing Kane to commit his long-term future to the German giants.

For now, the message is clear: Harry Kane is in Munich, he’s breaking records, and he’s loving every minute of it. Whether that continues beyond 2027 remains to be seen — but for Bayern, the present has never looked more prolific.
