Harry Kane has signed a new contract at Bayern Munich that is believed to make him the highest-paid player in Europe by salary. The England captain has committed his future to the Bundesliga club until the end of the 2028/29 season.
New Deal Follows Ballon d'Or Win
The 33-year-old's new deal comes just over a week after he beat Kylian Mbappe and Lamine Yamal to win the 2026 Ballon d'Or award. It follows months of negotiations with Bayern chiefs over the finer details, though both parties were confident throughout those talks that a breakthrough would eventually be found.
Kane had entered the final year of the contract he initially signed with Bayern in 2023, when he left Tottenham to join the German club for €100 million (£86 million).
Kane on His Future
Kane, who scored a club-record 61 goals in 51 games for Bayern across all competitions last season, said: "I feel right at home at FC Bayern. 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. 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."
Record-Breaking Career
Kane has won three Golden Boot awards in Germany and two Bundesliga titles so far. In last season's German Cup final, he scored a hat-trick in a 3-0 win over Stuttgart as Bayern won the trophy for the first time in six years.
In late September, Kane had said: "We're still talking, we're in good talks [over a new contract], I'll be honest, we're fairly close.
"There's still some things that we need to iron out but I'm happy there. I think it won't be too long before there's some sort of announcement."
Kane will overtake Peter Shilton to become the outright most-capped player in the history of England's men's national team when he next makes an appearance for his country. They host Croatia at Wembley in the Nations League next Thursday before travelling to face Spain.
