England captain and Ballon d’Or winner Harry Kane has committed his future to Bayern Munich, signing a contract extension that keeps him at the club until 2029. The 33-year-old striker, who was in the final year of his initial four-year agreement following his 86 million pound move from Tottenham in 2023, will now remain in Germany until shortly before his 36th birthday. My heart was beating so fast’ – Kane wins Ballon D’or. 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.
Reflecting on the decision, Kane expressed his deep connection to his current surroundings. “I feel right at home at FC Bayern. I love the club, the fans and the city of Munich,” he said. He added that playing under manager Vincent Kompany and being part of a fantastic team makes him proud. “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,” the forward stated.
The move serves to fend off external interest, including long-standing attention from Barcelona and potential inquiries from clubs in Saudi Arabia. By securing this deal, Kane will remain with the Bavarian side through the Euro 2028 tournament and until within a year of the 2030 World Cup. However, the extension further delays any potential return to the Premier League, where he currently trails Alan Shearer’s record of 260 goals by 47 strikes. 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.
Kane’s form remains prolific, highlighted by his recent crowning as the world’s best male player at the Ballon d’Or ceremony.
During the 2025-26 campaign, he scored 73 goals in 65 matches for club and country. His domestic impact at Bayern is equally significant, having amassed 102 goals in 102 Bundesliga appearances, while securing two league titles and three consecutive Golden Boot awards. Last season alone, he set a club record with 61 goals in 51 games, contributing to a league and cup double.
