Harry Kane has signed a new contract to commit his future to Bayern Munich until 2029.
ESPN had previously reported that the Ballon d’Or winner, 33, was close to extending his stay with the German giants, after he entered the final season of the four-year deal he signed when joining Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023.
The England captain won football’s top individual prize, the Ballon d’Or — becoming the first Englishman in 25 years to do so — after scoring 73 goals last season.
He ended his personal trophy drought by winning the Bundesliga in 2025 and 2026, and also won the German Cup last season. Kane scored 100 goals in Germany’s top flight in the fewest games ever, managing the feat in just 98 appearances.
Kane also recently matched the record, held by Peter Shilton since 1990, for the most England caps after a 125th appearance against Czechia in the most recent international break. He was already his country’s top goalscorer with a tally that stands at 91 goals.
Kane has scored 12 times for Bayern so far this season, giving him a tally of 156 goals in 161 appearances for the club.
“I feel right at home at FC Bayern,” Kane said. “I love the club, the fans and the city of Munich. We have a fantastic team and, in Vincent Kompany, a fantastic manager. It makes me very proud to be part of this club. My whole family is very happy here. I was keen to stay. I’m now looking forward to the future and I want to win many more titles with this great club.”
Herbert Hainer, FC Bayern president, said: “What began as a major transfer has, over time, become a special chapter in FC Bayern’s history. Harry Kane lives up to every promise football has to offer, and he has secured his place in the hearts of the fans as one of the greatest figures in the sport of our time. My compliments to Jan-Christian Dreesen and our sporting management team. This is a special moment for FC Bayern today.”
Jan-Christian Dreesen, FC Bayern CEO, said: “We’re delighted to have successfully extended Harry Kane’s contract. This is fantastic news for us, for our fans and for the Bundesliga. The Ballon d’Or winner is staying at Bayern Munich! Since joining us in 2023, he has achieved extraordinary things with his goals, his influence on the game and as a role model both on and off the pitch. He has long since made FC Bayern his home, has continued to develop with us and crowned that development with the Ballon d’Or. His contract extension is a commitment to FC Bayern and to a story that is far from over.”
Max Eberl, FC Bayern board member for sport, said: “This key contract extension gives us certainty in our planning. It sends a message that the biggest goals are within reach at FC Bayern. Players like Harry Kane offer a team unique opportunities. We’re delighted that he will continue to be a key figure who helps shape the direction of the club, and with whom we can continue to build our squad for the future.”
Christoph Freund, FC Bayern sporting director, added: “We’re absolutely delighted, because with Harry Kane we have the Ballon d’Or winner on the pitch — a team player, a leader, the best all-round striker in the world. We all benefit from his qualities as a player and as a person, day in, day out. FC Bayern thrives on players who never stop giving their all, even when they have already achieved the greatest of goals.”
