From the source

Harry Kane has made it clear that his decision to extend his contract with Bayern Munich was about more than just the club, the city, or the opportunity to compete for major trophies.

His relationship with Vincent Kompany has also played an important role in making Munich feel like the perfect place to continue his career. Interestingly, Kane revealed that Kompany never put pressure on him to sign a new deal.

Instead, the two shared an open conversation about how things were going at Bayern, with the manager allowing the situation to develop naturally. Kane also highlighted the respect he has for Kompany’s coaching philosophy, particularly his insistence that every player, regardless of experience or reputation, must meet the same standards.
