Harry Kane Signs New Bayern Munich Contract Until 2029 After Ballon d’Or Win

Harry Kane has signed a new contract with Bayern Munich that runs until 2029, locking the Ballon d’Or winner into the Bundesliga champions through Euro 2028 and closing another chapter on any near-term Premier League homecoming.

Bayern announced the extension on Thursday, with BBC Sport, The Guardian and Reuters confirming the deal. Kane, 33, was in the final year of the four-year agreement he signed after his £86 million move from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023. The new terms take him to shortly before his 36th birthday and keep England’s captain at the Allianz Arena into the run-up to the 2030 World Cup.

“I feel right at home at FC Bayern. I love the club, the fans and the city of Munich,” Kane said in the club’s announcement, as published by BBC Sport and The Guardian. “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.”

Kane left Spurs without a major trophy and arrived in Munich promising to prove himself at the highest level. Three seasons later, the ledger is unambiguous. BBC Sport reports 156 goals in 161 Bayern appearances, including a club-record 61 in 51 games last season as Bayern completed a league-and-cup double. He has won two Bundesliga titles, the DFB-Pokal and successive Franz Beckenbauer Supercups, and finished as the Bundesliga’s top scorer in each of his seasons in Germany.

Last month he became the first Englishman to win the Ballon d’Or since Michael Owen in 2001 and the first Bayern player to claim the award since Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in 1981, The Guardian reported. BBC Sport notes he is also the first Bundesliga player to win it since 1996. The timing of Thursday’s extension — days after that ceremony — underlines how quickly Bayern moved to keep their talisman.

For American and Premier League audiences, the contract lands with a familiar subplot. Kane remains 47 goals short of Alan Shearer’s Premier League record of 260, BBC Sport reported. Extending in Germany sharply reduces the chance he returns in time to chase that mark. He left Spurs as the club’s record scorer; the Premier League chapter, for now, stays closed.

Bayern did not disclose financial details. German media have called the package the most lucrative in club history, but that claim is attributed reporting, not a club confirmation, and salary figures are omitted here.

Christoph Freund, Bayern’s sporting director, framed the deal around leadership as much as goals. “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,” Freund said, according to BBC Sport. “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.”

Kane remains England’s captain and men’s record scorer. In September he equalled Peter Shilton’s appearance record of 125 caps, BBC Sport reported, while The Guardian put his international tally at 91 goals in those 125 games. He scored six times at the 2026 World Cup to become England’s all-time leading scorer in the tournament with 14 goals in 18 games, per BBC Sport.

The new Bayern deal runs through Euro 2028, giving England’s leadership core continuity at club level during the next major tournament cycle. For U.S. readers following the Three Lions after a World Cup summer on home soil in North America, that timeline is the practical takeaway: Kane’s peak years stay in Munich, not in a Premier League dressing room.

Bayern have secured the Ballon d’Or winner. Tottenham’s former No. 10 has chosen Munich again. The Premier League record waits. Euro 2028 does not.
