About ten hours after the formalization of his transfer to Bayern Munich, Harry Kane is in the Bayern Munich group to face RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup on Saturday evening (8:45 p.m.), starting the match on the bench.
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.
For Bayern’s first official match of the season against Leipzig, with a first title at stake, Thomas Tuchel preferred to put Kane on the bench and the young Frenchman Mathys Tel at the forefront of the attack.
The English center-forward, who inherited the N.9 on his jersey, explained for his first words on the Bayern site to hope to “play 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.
