They are world-class players, and world-class players do not grow on trees, and they have been very important figures for us for some time.”On the Ballon d’Or, Rummenigge said: “I was the last Bayern player to win the award, so I would like to see another Bayern player crowned with it now.

His goals and titles speak for themselves.”Kane’s contract with Bayern runs until 30 June 2027, and negotiations to extend it began before the start of the current season.Sporting director Max Eberl described the talks as “very harmonious”, while “Sky Sport Germany” reported that one option on the table is an extension until 2029. No agreement has been announced so far. Olise, meanwhile, is tied to the club until 2029.Rummenigge remains the last Bayern player to win the Ballon d’Or, landing it twice in a row in 1980 and 1981. He served as the club’s chief executive from 2002 until 2021, before returning to the supervisory board in May 2023.
