England captain Harry Kane has agreed a new contract with Bayern Munich that runs until 2029, confirming the 33‑year‑old will spend the peak years of his career at the Allianz Arena. The deal was announced shortly after Kane was named the world’s best player, securing the Ballon d’Or for the 2025‑26 season.
Bayern lock in record‑breaker
Kane joined Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur in August 2023 for a reported £86 million. Since arriving, he has matched his goal‑per‑game ratio in the Bundesliga, netting 102 goals in 102 matches, and has helped the club win two league titles and three consecutive Golden Boot awards. The new contract, which expires just before his 36th birthday, means he will not return to the Premier League before the deal ends.
Expert view on Kane’s longevity
"I certainly think, although you always have to factor fitness issues into all of this, that Harry is more than capable of carrying on for a few years yet, easily. People might say his game lacks a little bit of pace, but he's so strong in other areas. He is a world‑class all‑round player. His finishing isn't going to be affected in any way by his age. He can still link up play and his football brain is first class. I don't see his age being such a big deal." – Chris Sutton, former England striker
"Euro 2028 certainly shouldn't be a problem and who knows beyond that? If Harry has got players around him with pace and dynamism, as well as runners in and around him, then his football brain isn't going to change and he can still play a huge part. He's such a sharp, quick, thinker. He reads the game superbly, knows where his next pass is going and has shown an ability to drop deep and impact the game. Harry just seems to be getting better and more rounded with age." – Chris Sutton
Kane’s record at Tottenham stands at 213 goals in 320 league appearances, making him the club’s all‑time top scorer. He remains 47 goals shy of Alan Shearer’s Premier League record of 260 goals, a gap that appears increasingly unlikely to close given his Bayern commitment.
With Euro 2028 scheduled to be hosted in the UK and Ireland and the 2030 World Cup set for Morocco, Portugal and Spain, Kane’s extended stay in Germany positions him to feature in two major tournaments before the contract expires. Bayern and England coach Thomas Tuchel will look to leverage his form as the German side pursues further domestic honours and England seeks its first major international trophy since 1966.
The contract extension was confirmed by Bayern’s official channels; no further details on financial terms were disclosed.
