England captain and Ballon d'Or winner Harry Kane has signed a new contract with Bayern Munich that runs until 2029. The 33-year-old striker was in the final 12 months of the four-year deal he signed after his £86m move from Tottenham in 2023. He scored a club record 61 goals in 51 games last season as Bayern completed a league and cup double. "I feel right at home at FC Bayern. I love the club, the fans and the city of Munich," said Kane. "We have a fantastic team and, in Vincent Kompany, a fantastic manager. It makes me very proud to be part of this club."
Kane's contract secures his feature at Bayern until shortly before his 36th birthday and ensures he will remain with the club through Euro 2028 and to within a year of the 2030 World Cup. The Leytonstone-born forward remains 47 goals short of equalling Alan Shearer's Premier League record of 260 and extending his deal in Germany decreases his chances of returning to break that mark. By signing Kane to a new deal, Bayern have warded off any approach from Barcelona, who had a long-standing interest, while clubs in Saudi Arabia were also linked with the centre-forward.
Kane scored 73 goals in 65 matches for England and Bayern in 2025-26 and was crowned the world's best male player at the Ballon d'Or ceremony last month. He has scored 102 goals in 102 Bundesliga matches, winning three successive Golden Boot awards and two league titles. When Kane moved to Germany he said he wanted to "prove myself at the highest level". Having never previously won a major trophy with club or country, he has now lifted five with Bayern and won a host of individual accolades, including Bundesliga player of the season in 2024-25. Kane is the first Bundesliga player to win the Ballon d'Or since 1996.
