England star Harry Kane is close to signing a new contract with Bayern Munich through to 2029, sources have told ESPN. A source has confirmed to ESPN that the deal is near, though the club has not yet made an announcement.
Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl said on Friday that talks are going well and the club is hopeful. "I've read that too, but haven't heard anything," Eberl said. "What I said on Tuesday still stands today: there are good talks, we're hopeful, but there's nothing to announce yet." Head coach Vincent Kompany echoed that view ahead of Bayern's match against Leipzig, saying talks are going well but there is still nothing to announce.
Kane, 33, joined the Bundesliga champions in 2023 and has enjoyed remarkable success there. He helped Bayern win the 2025 and 2026 Bundesliga titles, along with the 2026 DFB-Pokal. On a personal level, he became the fastest player to reach 100 Bundesliga goals, managing the feat in just 98 matches. His overall record at Bayern stands at 154 goals in 156 matches.
Kane's contract expires in June 2027, and he has long said he prefers to extend his stay in Munich. Last month, while on England duty, he said: "Talks are going well. I've been quite open and honest about that." He is also among the favourites for the Ballon d'Or, with the winner due to be announced on Oct. 26, and he recently equalled Peter Shilton's England caps record with his 125th appearance.
