No dispute on years between Kane, Bayern (Sport Bild’s Christian Falk)
Contrary to previous reports, Sport Bild’s Christian Falk says that there is no disagreement on the amount of years for a contract extension between Bayern Munich and Harry Kane. This lines up with Kane’s statements over the weekend, where he said the delay in talking about a new deal was strictly because he wanted to let the season play out and also finish the World Cup.
Falk’s initial report came out on Friday with this information:
❌ It is NOT TRUE: Bayern Munich and Harry Kane disagree over the contract length on the table. The rumours were that Kane is demanding a contract until 2030, while Bayern Munich are just offering a one-year deal. But no, at the moment, the negotiations have not really started. Of course, when they’re at the table, this will be the big question. Will it be one year more or two years more? I think it could be a one-year contract with the option of an additional year. But Harry Kane wants to concentrate on his next title, which is the DFB Pokal in Berlin. It won’t be a big topic before then. On the England international’s end, he’s very relaxed. He’s said he can sign a contract before the World Cup and also after the World Cup. So, nobody is in a rush. Herbert Hainer also made it clear that Kane will get a new contract from Bayern Munich. Everything is relaxed.
This will — hopefully — ease the tension among some fans who began to fret Kane’s situation. Having Kane for an extra year or two after his deal ends in 2027 will be nice for the Bavarians.
Milan to move on from Pulisic? (ESPN)
As AC Milan looks at a rebuild, it could seek to dump USMNT star Christian Pulisic:
Gazzetta dello Sport claims that AC Milan will be looking at major changes after the club failed to seal a spot in the UEFA Champions League next season after a 2-1 home defeat by Cagliari on Sunday. Manager Massimiliano Allegri is likely to depart, while the futures of star players like Christian Pulisic, Luka Modric, Adrien Rabiot, Rafael Leão, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Fikayo Tomori are also up in the air as Milan will need to recoup around €100 million to plug their financial gaps.
It feels like a longshot, but Bayern Munich did have some interest in Pulisic back before he moved from Borussia Dortmund to Chelsea.

Liverpool left back Andy Robertson is now expected to join Tottenham Hotspur, after the club kept their Premier League status on the final day of the season. The Times claims that the Scotland international is ready to join on a free transfer, with his contract coming to an end this summer. Tottenham were linked with a move back in January, but Robertson, 32, stayed with the Reds and was given a guard of honor from his teammates on Sunday during their draw with Brentford after nine years with the club.
Robertson was briefly linked to Bayern Munich, but that move appears to be off the table now.
