England’s Harry Kane extends Bayern Munich contract until 2029

England’s Harry Kane extends Bayern Munich contract until 2029

'I love the club, the fans and the city,' says the Ballon d'Or ‌winner after extending his stay with German champions.

Ballon d’Or ‌winner Harry Kane has signed a contract extension with Bayern Munich until June ⁠2029, the ⁠Bundesliga club has announced.

“I feel right at home at FC Bayern,” Kane said in a statement announcing his extention with Bayern Munich on Thursday.

The England captain joined Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023 and has since helped the German side win two Bundesliga titles, ⁠the German Cup and two German Super Cups.

The 33-year-old striker has scored 156 goals in 161 appearances in all competitions for Bayern and capped his prolific spell in Munich ⁠by winning the Ballon d’Or last week.

He was the first Englishman to win the prestigious award since Michael Owen in 2001.

“I love the club, the fans and the city of Munich. We have a fantastic ‌team and, in Vincent Kompany, a fantastic manager,” the star forward went on to add.

“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.”

Kane has frequently been linked with a move back to England, where he remains 47 goals shy of Alan Shearer’s Premier League record ⁠of 260 goals.

However, the striker said in August that the Premier ⁠League no longer holds the same appeal for him as he is focused on his career in Germany.

“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,” Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said.

“His contract extension is a commitment to FC ⁠Bayern and to a story that is far from ⁠over.”

Bayern did not disclose financial details of the agreement. However, German media reported that the extension is the most lucrative contract in the club’s history and part of a long-term commitment to the England captain.

Kane has finished as ‌the Bundesliga’s top scorer in each of his seasons with Bayern and was named Germany’s Footballer of the Year in 2026.

He has also won the European Golden Shoe twice, awarded ‌to ‌Europe’s leading league goalscorer, and captained England to a third-place finish at this year’s World Cup.

In the Netherlands many felt the move, while welcome, was mishandled and say it opened up a new phase of reckoning Andy Burnham’s pledge to seek a “structured dialogue” with former colonies to help shape Britain’s first formal state apology for slavery marks the UK’s first tentative step down a path the Netherlands set out on five years ago. The prime minister’s attempts to initiate a historic shift alongside the royal family – whose customary expressions of “profound personal sorrow”, falling short of an apology, was repeated by King Charles this week – echo a process begun by the Dutch state
