Full account
Harry Kane has extended his Bayern Munich contract through to 30 June 2029, the club announced. The England captain joined from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023 and has since scored 156 goals in 161 appearances in all competitions. The new deal keeps the 33-year-old in Germany into the closing years of his career and makes a return to the Premier League less likely in the near term.
Kane said he felt at home at the club and in Munich, and that his family were happy there. He praised the squad and manager Vincent Kompany, adding that he wanted to win more titles with Bayern. Club sporting director Christoph Freund described him as a team player and leader whose contribution extended beyond his performances on the pitch. Chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen also called the extension a commitment to the club and to a story still unfolding.
Kane’s Bayern spell has brought domestic trophies and individual honours. The reports credit him with two Bundesliga titles and a German Cup; one also lists two Franz Beckenbauer Supercups, bringing his Bayern trophy total to five. He has been the Bundesliga’s leading scorer in each of his seasons at the club, according to one report. His recent Ballon d’Or win made him the first Englishman to receive the award since Michael Owen in 2001, as well as the first Bayern player to win it since Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in 1981, according to the reports that give that club history.
Bayern did not publish the financial terms. One report says German media have described the extension as the most lucrative contract in the club’s history. Another gives Kane’s existing annual salary as €25m and says the new bonus structure could raise his total pay to €33m, without increasing his basic salary. The reports also differ in how they frame the contract’s significance: some focus on Kane’s goals and trophies, while another highlights the deal’s effect on a possible pursuit of Alan Shearer’s Premier League scoring record and on interest from Barcelona and Saudi clubs.
Where outlets differ
From the full account, which is AI-written from the sources:
The reports give different career and season statistics: one says Kane has 102 goals in 102 Bundesliga matches, while another gives 100 goals in 98 matches as of September. One attributes 73 goals across club and country in 2025–26; another cites 89 since August 2025. These figures may reflect different dates or counting periods.
The trophy summaries vary. Sources describe two Bundesliga titles and a German Cup, while one also lists two Supercups and says Kane has won five trophies with Bayern.
Financial reporting ranges from no disclosed terms and German media claims that the deal is the club’s most lucrative, to a detailed estimate of €25m annual salary and possible bonuses taking pay to €33m.
Coverage places different emphasis on Kane’s future: one report stresses that the contract runs through Euro 2028 and reduces the time available to chase Shearer’s Premier League record; another notes previous links to Barcelona and Saudi Arabia; the others centre on Bayern’s announcement and Kane’s achievements.
