Why extend Kane's contract now?
Bayern Munich extended Harry Kane's contract because he was in the last year of his previous deal. If a player enters the final six months, they can sign a pre-contract with another club and leave for free when their current deal expires. This extension ensures Bayern retains their star player and protects their significant investment, as the story implies.
