Eberl: Officially negotiating with Kane at the beginning of 2026, and currently not too worried about him leaving Bayern

Hupu reported on November 26 that German media Bild had an exclusive interview with Bayern Sports Managing Director Eberl.

(It’s huge, please bear with it)

[Rumor Board] Eberl: Talking about renewing the contract with Upa; the veteran must take a salary cut. If he doesn’t accept it, we will get together and break up.

There are reports every day in Spain that Barcelona is pursuing Harry Kane. What do you think of these reports?

We will sit down with Harry in early 2026 to talk about his future. We can all feel how comfortable he is at Bayern Munich. In my opinion, Harry has every chance of getting an important place in the Golden Globe Awards.

What he has accomplished is incredible, and he definitely deserves to be on the final three-man shortlist for the Ballon d'Or. I would put him first. But back to the original question: I’m not particularly worried today that Harry Kane will leave us.

When you talk to him in early 2026, will you only talk about renewing the contract for one year, that is, until 2028? Or is it possible to sign in 2029?

I don't want to jump to conclusions; we'll talk to Harry first. We'll talk to him honestly and ask him: "What do you think? How do you feel?"

I don't know if he wants to go back to the Premier League or try something completely different. But what I do know for sure is that he and his family live very comfortably in Munich. Munich is a very safe and livable city, and Harry and his family love it here.

In a brief QA session, Christoph Freund is completely qualified for the position of sports director of any Bundesliga club, right?

But he is the most suitable here!

If Neuer stays healthy, will he renew his contract in the spring?

Manuel will turn 40 in March; we will discuss his future after that. We don't need to talk to him about prospects; it's a feeling. Now he feels very relaxed and we have confidence in him. There's also the question: How will he feel when he plays in the 2026 World Cup and becomes world champion?

This actually answers the next question: Neuer must participate in the World Cup!

Yes. He is the best goalkeeper in Germany! We are very happy to have him extended and healthy. The break between international matches has served him well. But: he couldn't wait any longer.

Next prediction: The day Neuer leaves is the day Urbich becomes the new number one goalkeeper.

With Jonas, we can always be ready—no matter the time. We are convinced that he can fill Neuer's position.

There are no signing plans in the winter transfer window - unless someone is injured.

That’s right.
