Newly‑crowned Ballon d'Or winner Harry Kane has signed a fresh contract that will keep him at Bayern Munich until the summer of 2029. The 33‑year‑old striker first joined the Bavarian giants from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023, arriving with a £86m price tag and a personal goal of winning major silverware.
Contract details and on‑field record
Kane’s new deal reportedly makes him Europe’s highest‑paid player by salary, a reflection of his prolific output. Since his arrival he has netted 156 goals in 161 games, adding two Bundesliga crowns, a German Cup and two German Super Cups to his résumé. He finished as the league’s top scorer in every season, claimed the European Golden Shoe twice and was named Germany’s footballer of the year.
Last season he helped Bayern secure a domestic double, scoring 61 goals in 51 appearances. Those figures helped him out‑score rivals Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal to capture the Ballon d’Or, making him the first Englishman to win the award since Michael Owen in 2001.
"I feel right at home at FC Bayern," Kane said after the announcement. "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 and I’m keen to stay. I look forward to winning many more titles with this great club."

Reactions from Bayern leadership
Club president Herbert Hainer praised the signing, noting that "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 … This is a special moment for FC Bayern today." Sporting director Christoph Freund 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."
While Bayern’s manager Vincent Kompany is currently recuperating after collapsing at the training ground – diagnosed with meningeal irritation, an inflammation of the protective membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord – the team remain top of the Bundesliga, albeit only by goal difference.
