Harry Kane Agrees Bayern Munich Contract Extension Until 2029
Harry Kane and Bayern Munich have agreed the outline of a new contract that would keep the England captain at the Allianz Arena until 2029, with the club now working to complete the formalities before the Ballon d’Or ceremony on October 26.
Kane contract talks at a glance
| Item | Figure/date | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Proposed new expiry | 2029 | Bayern have offered a two-year extension |
| Reported weekly wage | £400,000 | Terms agreed in principle |
| Bundesliga milestone | 100 goals in 98 games | Record reached in September |
The 33-year-old had sought a deal through to 2030, but Bayern held their position on an agreement running to 2029. His existing contract is due to expire at the end of the current season.
Bayern sporting director Max Eberl had indicated that negotiations were progressing, saying discussions away from public view had been positive. The agreement is set to shut down interest from leading European sides, including Barcelona, who had been tracking Kane’s position.
Kane made clear in May that he was settled in Munich and saw no need to rush the process. He said there was no concern over the situation, with talks planned after the season and the World Cup still ahead, while stressing his enjoyment of life in Bavaria with his family.
Bayern stay follows extraordinary scoring run
The striker joined Bayern from Tottenham for £100 million in 2023 and has since collected the first major trophies of his career: two Bundesliga titles, the German Cup and the German Super Cup.
His output has remained relentless. Kane scored 61 goals across 51 appearances last season and has registered 50 goals already this calendar year. In September, he surpassed a Bundesliga record that had stood since 1977 by reaching 100 league goals in only 98 matches.
A long Bayern commitment would also make a return to chase Alan Shearer’s Premier League scoring record increasingly unlikely. Kane left England with 213 Premier League goals, 47 behind Shearer’s all-time mark.
England record within reach
Kane is also on the verge of becoming England’s outright appearance record-holder. He matched Peter Shilton’s total of 125 caps during the latest international break and can move clear when England play again next month.
