Harry Kane signs a new Bayern Munich contract until 2029
Harry Kane has signed a new contract with Bayern Munich until 30 June 2029, the club announced on Thursday 5 November 2026 — a two-year extension for the 33-year-old England captain, whose previous deal had entered its final year. Kane, who won the Ballon d'Or last month, said he feels 'right at home' in Munich; Bayern's chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen called it 'fantastic news'. Kane has scored 156 goals in 161 competitive appearances since joining from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023 and has finished as the Bundesliga's top scorer in each of his first three seasons. The club has not published the salary terms; the figures in circulation are reports, carried here as not yet verified.

What happened
Kane joined Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur in August 2023 and, after two trophyless seasons at the start of his career in Germany were ended by the 2024/25 Bundesliga title, has won two league titles, the DFB Cup and two Supercups in Munich. In October 2026 he won the Ballon d'Or — the first Bundesliga player in 30 years to take the award — and captained England to third place at the summer's World Cup.
With his previous deal running into its final year, his future had been the subject of months of speculation, including talk of a Premier League return. The extension settles it on Bayern's terms of planning: board member Max Eberl said it 'gives us certainty in our planning' and keeps Kane as the side's central figure into his mid-thirties — he turns 36 shortly after the new deal ends in June 2029.
Claim by claim
Why this label: Verified from the primary source: FC Bayern's own announcement on fcbayern.com ('Harry Kane extends with FC Bayern until 2029', 5 Nov 2026), carried in full by Bundesliga.com — the league's official site (read in full in this run) — and in agreement with BBC Sport, the Guardian, Sky Sports and AP's report of the same announcement. A contract announcement is the issuing club's own act; the FAST gate is met on the club's word plus the independent reports.
On the ladder: a claim earns Verified from primary evidence, or from two independent sources that do not copy each other.
Why this label: Verified as the principals' own words, quoted in FC Bayern's announcement and reproduced verbatim by Bundesliga.com (read in full in this run). Under the principal's-own-words rule, that Kane and the club's executives said these things is verified by their own statements; nothing here claims what the extension will achieve.
On the ladder: a claim earns Verified from primary evidence, or from two independent sources that do not copy each other.
Why this label: All figures are Bundesliga.com's (the league's official site, read in full in this run); FC Bayern's own records page gives the same 156 goals in 161 games (with 40 assists). The Ballon d'Or win is already carried live on this site (ballon-dor-2026-kane-putellas-uefa-winners).

Why this label: Carried as Not yet verified under the facts-available-only rule: the extension itself is verified from the club; every salary figure in circulation is an outlet's report (the queue item at MANUAL-0905-A flagged the same disagreement), and no club or league source read in this run states a wage. This claim will be replaced, not stacked, if the terms are ever officially published.
On the ladder: the evidence so far sits low — early, single or social sources. We publish the claim as a claim, never as fact.
What we know / what we don't know yet
What we know
- The extension, its length (to 30 June 2029) and the principals' words — from FC Bayern's own announcement, carried in full by Bundesliga.com and in agreement with BBC Sport, the Guardian, Sky Sports and AP.
What we don't know yet
- The salary and any bonus or release terms — the club has not published them, and the figures in circulation are outlets' reports that differ in form (€25m gross a year; about £400,000 a week).
- Whether the deal changes anything about Kane's England future beyond the football itself — no statement on that appears in the announcement read.
Why it matters
Bayern have tied down the most prolific striker in Europe's top five leagues — 156 goals in 161 games — through the rest of his prime, ending the speculation that followed his contract into its final year. For Kane, it is a statement that his trophy years will be chased in Munich, not in a late return to England; for the Bundesliga, its first Ballon d'Or winner in 30 years is staying.
