Bayern’s long‑term gamble ties Kane to 2029, eyes future heir
On a bright Tuesday at the Allianz Arena, Bayern unveiled a contract extension for Ballon d'Or winner Harry Kane, a move the club described as a "Langfristiger Kane-Erbe FC Bayern" and which the German newspaper Blick hailed as a clear Zeichen of intent for the German Rekordmeister.
Kane secured until 2029
The extension ties the Three Lions captain to the German Rekordmeister until summer 2029. This confirms the number nine shirt will belong to Kane in the coming years.
New signing Ismael Saibari, a 25‑year‑old Moroccan, provides an all‑round backup and feels comfortable in the centre‑forward role. Saibari is bound to Bayern until 2031.
Bayern therefore have no acute need in the attacking line. Recent rumours of interest in Erling Haaland have been dismissed.
FC Bayern consider signing Nicolo Tresoldi as a weapon alongside Kane
With a medium‑ to long‑term view, the club may already be thinking about a Kane heir. As Kane will be almost 36 when his contract ends, he may still perform but could benefit from occasional rest. Consequently, it makes sense to have a prospective successor already in the squad. While Saibari can also cover other attacking positions, Bayern could still sign another specialist striker.
Successor scouting and Tresoldi profile
Nicolo Tresoldi, 22, is on Bayern’s list as a German prospect. The former Hannover striker is in his second season at Club Brugge in Belgium. He has already recorded 37 goals and ten assists in 75 appearances for Brugge. In the current season he has 14 goals and one assist in 17 matches.
FotMob values Tresoldi at 41 million euros. Last summer there was strong European interest in Tresoldi. Borussia Dortmund is also competing for the 27‑time German U21 international.
A possible Tresoldi transfer has already been discussed in Bayern’s boardroom. Scouts have visited Brugge several times to assess the striker live.
