Bayern 'work to remove Tottenham clause' in Harry Kane contract ahead of Ballon d'Or

Bayern in talks to extend Kane's contract and remove Tottenham's matching clause; Kane favourite for Ballon d'Or tonight.

Harry Kane is in advanced contract extension talks with Bayern Munich as he arrives in London as the favourite to win the Ballon d'Or. Kane's current deal expires at the end of the season, and Bayern are working to remove a clause that allows Tottenham to match any bid for the striker, effectively ruling out a Premier League return. Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed negotiations are progressing on the length of the contract and the removal of Tottenham's matching rights. Bayern supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge expressed optimism that a deal can be reached soon. Kane told beIN SPORTS in September he was extremely happy at Bayern and appreciated the fans' support.
