Harry Kane signs new Bayern Munich contract until 2029

Summarised from 9 outlets · 11 reports · Updated 5 Nov, 15:01 · Archive

England captain and Ballon d'Or winner Harry Kane has signed a new contract with Bayern Munich that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2029. The 33-year-old had entered the final year of his previous deal, and the new extension comes less than two weeks after he was crowned the world's best male player.

Kane moved to Bayern from Tottenham in 2023 for a fee reported as either £86 million or €100 million. Since that transfer, he has scored 156 goals in 161 competitive appearances for the club. Last season alone, he scored 61 goals in 51 games for Bayern, and a further 73 goals in 65 matches across club and country, the latter figure earning him the Ballon d'Or award. He is the first Englishman to win the prestigious individual award in 25 years, since Michael Owen in 2001.

Multiple outlets report that Kane's new contract makes him Europe's highest-paid player by salary. City AM reports his deal is worth €25 million (£21 million) per year, with bonuses potentially boosting his earnings to €33 million (£27 million). The Guardian noted that Bayern did not disclose financial details, though German media reported it is the most lucrative contract in the club's history.

During his time at Bayern, Kane has won two Bundesliga titles, the DFB Cup and two German Super Cups. He has won the Bundesliga Golden Boot in each of his three seasons at the club and the European Golden Shoe twice. In September, he became the fastest player in German history to reach 100 Bundesliga goals, achieving the milestone in 98 games.

Speaking on his new deal, Kane said: 'I feel right at home at FC Bayern. I love the club, the fans and the city of Munich. We have a fantastic team and, in Vincent Kompany, a fantastic manager. It makes me very proud to be part of this club. My whole family is very happy here. I was keen to stay. I'm now looking forward to the future and I want to win many more titles with this great club.'

Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said: 'We're delighted to have successfully extended Harry Kane's contract. This is fantastic news for us, for our fans and for the Bundesliga. The Ballon d'Or winner is staying at Bayern Munich.'

The Mirror reports that Barcelona had expressed interest in signing Kane, while Tottenham had first refusal on any transfer. The new deal brings an end to speculation about his future and removes the possibility of a return to the Premier League, where he remains 47 goals short of Alan Shearer's record of 260 league goals.
