Eberl declares Bayern-Star Harry Kane the clear Ballon d’Or Wahl

While the annual Ballon d’Or discussion ignites worldwide debate over the best footballer, Bayern Munich’s sport director Max Eberl has already named his clear Wahl, championing the club’s own striker as the leading candidate.

Eberl called Kane “eigentlich die klare Wahl” and argued that his impact at Tottenham and especially at FC Bayern makes him a standout in the global Fußballer debate.

Eberl stressed that a Ballon d’Or winner is not solely defined by the most goals or titles. “Aber vor allem geht es für mich darum: Was ist ein Vorbild? … Ein Ballon d’Or‑Gewinner sollte auch ein Botschafter sein,” he explained, emphasizing the ambassador role.

Kane’s numbers and contract talks

Kane has been with Bayern for three years, consistently performing at top level despite the absence of a major international trophy with the club or his national team. In the last season he recorded 61 goals in 51 competitive matches, a striking ratio that supports Eberl’s case.

The sport director described the ongoing Vertragsgespräche as “unglaublich harmonisch, ein unglaubliches Miteinander,” noting that both player and club are eager to extend the partnership. Yet, a formal Vollzugsmeldung confirming the extension remains pending.
