Ballon d'Or win will help keep Kane at Bayern, says Germany's Matthaus

In football, Lothar Matthaus, a former World Cup winner with Germany, has said that the relationship between English striker Harry Kane and Bayern Munich is "perfect". The comments were reported by Al Jazeera.

Matthaus argues that winning the Ballon d'Or, the annual award for outstanding achievement in football, would help keep Kane at the Munich club.

The source text gives no further details about Kane's contract, his future plans or the contenders for the Ballon d'Or. For now, all that is known is Matthaus's assessment of the bond between player and club, and his view of what the award could mean for it.
