Matthaeus: Ballon d'Or win boosts Kane's Bayern stay

khaleejtimes.com —

Lothar Matthaeus said Wednesday that Harry Kane's Ballon d'Or win will help persuade the Bayern Munich striker to sign a new contract with the German champions. Kane became the first Englishman to win the award since Michael Owen in 2001, after scoring 61 goals in 51 games for Bayern last season and helping England reach the World Cup semi-finals. Matthaeus, the 1990 winner, said Kane has found peace in Munich and that Bayern helped him earn the honor. Kane, 33, joined Bayern in 2023 for €100 million and has won two league titles. He is in talks over a new deal, and Matthaeus believes the striker will sign for another two or three years.
