Harry Kane signs new contract with Bayern Munich through 2029

England captain and Ballon d’Or winner Harry Kane has signed a contract extension with Bayern Munich, committing his future to the German club until the summer of 2029.

The 33-year-old striker, who was entering the final 12 months of his original four-year deal, has agreed to a two-and-a-half-year extension. While Bayern Munich did not officially disclose financial details, The Guardian noted that German media described the agreement as the most lucrative in the club's history. Sky in Germany reported that Kane's new salary is at least €25m (£20.9m) gross per year.

Kane told the club's official website that he feels "right at home" in Munich and was keen to stay. He praised the team and manager Vincent Kompany, stating his ambition to win more titles with the club. Bayern's sporting director, Christoph Freund, hailed Kane as a leader and the world's best all-round striker, noting that the entire club benefits from his qualities as both a player and a person.

The extension follows a historic month for the forward, who recently became the first Englishman in 25 years to win the Ballon d'Or. Since his €100m move from Tottenham in 2023, Kane has scored 156 goals in 161 competitive appearances for Bayern. BBC Sport reported that he scored a club-record 61 goals last season, helping the team secure a domestic league and cup double.

BBC Sport also observed that the new deal makes a return to the Premier League less likely, as Kane remains 47 goals short of Alan Shearer's scoring record. The agreement reportedly warded off interest from Barcelona and clubs in Saudi Arabia. Internationally, Kane recently equalled the record for England men's caps with 125 appearances and has increased his tally to 91 goals.
