Story summary

Harry Kane, the England captain and recent Ballon d'Or winner, signed a new contract extension with Bayern Munich that runs until June 2029. The striker moved to Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023 for €100 million (£86m) and was entering the final year of his original four-year deal. Kane, now 33, has scored a remarkable 73 goals in 65 matches during the 2025-26 season, contributing to his Ballon d'Or win last month. His decision means he will be 35 by the end of his contract, potentially limiting any return to England where he remains 47 goals shy of Alan Shearer’s Premier League record of 260 goals. Kane expressed his happiness at staying with Bayern, saying, "I feel right at home at FC Bayern," and praised the club's fans and management.
