Harry Kane's transfer to Bayern Munich, orchestrated by Hasan Salihamidžić, significantly impacted both the club and the player. The move addressed Bayern's "striker-less" season, transforming them into a serious UEFA Champions League contender. For Kane, it marked a turning point, bringing him trophies and leading to his nomination for the prestigious Ballon d'Or. Despite his strong candidacy, the English striker stated he would not campaign for himself, contrasting with players like Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappé. Kane expressed that self-promotion is not his personality and finds the timing of the award disruptive, as it occurs during a new season. He remains proud of his achievements and believes voters will consider the available statistics, preferring others to acknowledge his accomplishments. The Ballon d'Or winner will be announced at the end of October.
