At present, Chicago Fire l00ks like his next destination.<\/p>\n<p>Kane is also a model professional still at the peak of his powers at 32.

Yet the message received was that Kane is happy in Bavaria and doesn\u2019t wish to move on despite his contract expiring in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>This means that, like Vinicius Jr. at Real Madrid, Kane will enter the last 12 months of his Bayern contract this week and be able to leave as a free agent next summer.<\/p>\n<p>While Kane wants to extend until 2030, though, Bayern prefers just another two years. <\/p>\n<p>Bar\u00e7a could capitalise on this, and force Bayern into selling him for a reduced fee as opposed to losing him for free in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Not just a goal machine, Kane would be the perfect fit at FC Barcelona thanks to his link up play and passing game.
