The star England striker’s contract with the Bavarians runs until June 2027, but rumors are circulating that he could leave the Allianz Arena at the end of this season.
The duo had a brilliant start to the 2025-2026 season, scoring numerous crucial goals for their respective teams. Kane has led Bayern Munich’s attack perfectly during the first three months of the season, already scoring 24 goals in just 18 games in all competitions.
Kane and Haaland in the running for the 2025-2026 European Golden Shoe.
In September, he became the fastest player in the history of Europe’s five major leagues to reach the 100-goal mark for a single club, in just 104 matches. In doing so, he dethroned Cristiano Ronaldo and Haaland, who both made 105 appearances for Real Madrid and Manchester City, respectively.
Kane’s sparkling form in front of goal was instrumental in Vincent Kompany’s side breaking AC Milan’s record of 13 consecutive wins at the start of the 1992-93 season. Bayern then went on a 16-game winning streak before being stopped by Union Berlin after a 2-2 draw.
Furthermore, the importance of Haaland for this City team is undeniable. The Norwegian has already crossed the threshold of 30 goals for club and country, including 19 under the orders of Pep Guardiola in the sky blue jersey of City. His absence was cruelly felt against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, the German club creating a surprise by winning 2-0 against a City team deprived of Haaland and several other starters.
That said, Kane and Haaland have been in great form since the start of the season. With Kylian Mbappé, they are one of the favorites for the 2025-2026 European Golden Shoe, with 14 goals each in the league.
Kane urged to play with Haaland
Former Premier League winger Shaun Wright-Phillips, who spent nine years at Manchester City, believes Kane and Haaland could co-exist harmoniously at the Etihad Stadium next season and beyond. He therefore encourages the former to return to the Premier League rather than join Barcelona, as has been mentioned.
“ If you were Harry Kane, you could win more trophies at Barcelona or Real Madrid. Why would you turn down such an opportunity? »he told BestBettingSites.
“But if he goes for that record in the Premier League, I think Manchester City would welcome him with open arms. Even if they only play with one striker, they can rotate Erling Haaland. I think both players would accept this situation as long as they win trophies.
Plus, I think they can play together, because Kane is also an exceptional number 10, and that would free up Haaland. As soon as Kane has the ball and turns, Haaland breaks free and Kane finds him. »
