Harry Kane, 33, has signed a new contract with Bayern Munich that runs until June 2029, just a week after winning the Ballon d'Or. The English striker moved to Bayern from Tottenham in August 2023 for £86 million and had been on his final year of the original four-year deal. In the 2025-26 season alone, Kane scored an impressive 73 goals in 65 matches across all competitions.
Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen praised Kane's contributions, noting that he has won two Bundesliga titles and other German domestic cups since joining. The contract extension solidifies Kane’s status as the highest-paid player in Europe, with reports suggesting his weekly salary will be around £400,000.
The new deal leaves little room for a return to England before Euro 2028, as Kane is now only two years away from that tournament. Additionally, Tottenham reportedly have a clause allowing them to match any transfer offer if Bayern decides to sell Kane before his contract ends in 2029.
