Harry Kane has signed a new two-year contract extension with Bayern Munich that keeps the England captain at the Allianz Arena until 30 June 2029, the Bundesliga club announced on Thursday 5 November 2026. The deal ends months of speculation about the striker’s future and rewards a spell in Germany that has already delivered 156 goals in 161 competitive appearances.
Kane, 33, said the decision was straightforward. Speaking at a press conference, he said: “I didn’t have to think about it for long. I’m in the best place I can imagine.” He added: “We signed the contract yesterday, but the decision was made a long time ago. I know I’m in a great team, that we’re fighting for the Champions League, for all the titles.”

A Ballon d’Or winner staying in Munich
Kane’s extension arrives weeks after he won the Ballon d’Or in October 2026, becoming the first Bundesliga player in 30 years to win the award and only the fifth Englishman to do so. Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen said the club was delighted to keep him, adding: “His contract extension is a commitment to FC Bayern and to a story that is far from over.”
The timing settles a question that had followed Kane since his previous deal entered its final year. Barcelona and clubs in Saudi Arabia had been linked with the striker, and a return to England had been openly discussed while he chased Alan Shearer’s Premier League record. Bayern moved to close that speculation down, with board member for sport Max Eberl saying the extension “gives us certainty in our planning” and “sends a message that the biggest goals are within reach at FC Bayern.”
156 goals in 161 games: the numbers behind the deal
Few signings in Bayern’s history have produced at this rate. Kane has finished as the Bundesliga’s top scorer in each of his first three seasons in Germany, a feat no player has achieved before. His 2025/26 season brought 61 goals and seven assists in 51 appearances, and he has started 2026/27 with 10 goals and eight assists in 14 appearances, including his 100th Bundesliga goal in a 7-0 win over Union Berlin in September.
The goals have come with silverware. Kane helped Bayern reclaim the Bundesliga title from Bayer Leverkusen in 2024/25 before inspiring the club to a domestic double last season. His form also carried into the summer, when he scored six goals as England secured their best World Cup finish in 60 years, claiming the bronze medal.
The money question and the 2030 wrinkle
Bayern did not disclose the financial details of the agreement, but German media reported that the extension is the most lucrative contract in the club’s history. The Times reported the deal is worth significantly more than £440,000 a week, a rise on the terms Kane signed when he joined from Tottenham in 2023, and that it includes a €1 million bonus for winning the Ballon d’Or.
One detail underlines how the negotiation was settled. The Times reported that Kane initially wanted a deal running until 2030, with his sights on performing at the highest level until that year’s World Cup, while Bayern were determined to stick to 2029. The compromise keeps Kane in Munich through his 36th birthday, with the 2030 World Cup falling just beyond the end of the contract.
What the extension means for Bayern and England
For Bayern, the deal secures the centrepiece of their attack and removes the distraction of a captain running down his contract. Eberl described Kane as “a key figure who helps shape the direction of the club, and with whom we can continue to build our squad for the future.” For the Bundesliga, keeping its Ballon d’Or winner is a statement of intent after a summer in which the league’s biggest names were courted abroad.
For England, the extension brings stability in the build-up to the 2030 World Cup cycle. Kane remains the national team’s captain and record goalscorer, and his summer showed he can still deliver on the biggest stage. Whether he plays at the 2030 tournament itself remains an open question, with his Bayern deal ending in the summer before it.
The Premier League record left waiting
Kane’s decision to stay in Germany also puts his pursuit of Alan Shearer’s Premier League record of 260 goals on hold. He remains 47 goals short of that mark, a gap that would have taken at least two full seasons in England to close. By signing until 2029, Kane has chosen trophies in Munich over the record chase, at least for now.
That trade-off is the clearest sign of where his priorities lie. Kane joined Bayern in 2023 to end his wait for a first major trophy, and he has since won two Bundesliga titles, the German Cup and two German Super Cups. The extension gives him three more seasons to add the Champions League, the one major prize still missing from his collection. The Premier League’s all-time scoring record will have to wait — and, as Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge showed this season, the league he left behind has moved on without him. Kane’s story, as Dreesen put it, is “far from over” — it will simply continue in Munich, according to Reuters and the Bundesliga’s official announcement.
