About ten hours after the formalization of his transfer to Bayern Munich, Harry Kane played his first minutes in his new colors, coming into play in the 64th minute of the German Super Cup on Saturday evening at the Allianz Arena.
In the Munich group for this meeting, Kane was acclaimed when he entered the game, while Leipzig led the score (2-0) thanks to a brace from Dani Olmo. He had already been able to enjoy a standing ovation from the 75,000 spectators at the Allianz Arena shortly after 8:00 p.m. when warming up.
The Bayern ultras in the Südkurve called from the hour mark “Harry Kane! Harry Kane!” to urge Thomas Tuchel to bring in their new star. They were heard since Kane, who left to warm up after returning from the locker room, joined the bench in a sprint before coming into play.
Arrived in Munich early Friday evening, Kane had his medical and then officially signed his four-season contract until the summer of 2027 with Bayern on the night of Friday to Saturday.
The formalization of the transfer (estimated at 100 million euros, plus 10 million bonuses) fell on Saturday mid-morning, a few minutes before the first training session of the captain of the English selection on the grounds of Säbener Strasse, the headquarters of the Bavarian club, in his new Bayern colours.
The English center-forward, who inherited the N.9 on his jersey, the one Robert Lewandowski wore at Bayern for eight seasons between 2014 and 2022, explained in his first words on the Bayern site that he hoped to “play a part” of the meeting.
Adored in England, Kane has not won a single title in his career and has the opportunity for his first day in the colors of Munich to already unlock his counter. Bayern have won six of Germany’s last seven Super Cups, the last one last year beating Leipzig 5-3.
