Kane and Bayern's Ballon d'Or push: 'It can only be Harry'
Bayern Munich are mounting a coordinated push for Harry Kane to win the Ballon d'Or, framing the England captain as a transformative figure whose goalscoring exploits deserve the highest individual honour. The club sees a Kane triumph as not just recognition of the player but also a statement about Bayern's continued pull for elite talent.

For Bayern, attaching their brand to a Ballon d'Or winner reinforces their prestige as a destination for the world's best strikers, especially as they navigate the post-Lewandowski era.
