Harry Kane has extended his contract with Bayern Munich by two years, committing him to the German champions until 2029. The Ballon d’Or winner announced on Thursday that he feels “right at home” at the club.
Kane, 33, joined Bayern from Tottenham in 2023 and has scored 156 goals in 161 appearances across all competitions. He expressed his happiness with the club, the fans, the city, and the team’s manager, Vincent Kompany.
“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,” Kane said in a statement.
Since moving to Bayern, Kane has won two Bundesliga titles and one German Cup. He reached the Champions League semi-finals twice in three seasons with the club. Last month, he received the Ballon d’Or for men’s player of the year in London, becoming the first Englishman to win the award since Michael Owen in 2001 and the first Bayern player since Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in 1981.
In September, Kane set a new record by becoming the fastest player to score 100 Bundesliga goals, achieving this milestone in just 98 games.
Bayern’s sporting director, Christoph Freund, expressed delight over the extension, calling Kane “the best all-round striker in the world” and a valuable team player and leader.
Negotiations for the contract extension had been ongoing since August, with the length of the deal being a key point of discussion, according to German media.
Kane has previously spoken about his contentment in Munich, noting that his desire to return to the Premier League has diminished. He has praised the welcome he has received from the club and fans.
Last season, Kane scored 61 goals for Bayern and 12 for England, totaling 73 goals. This tally was only surpassed once this century by Lionel Messi in the 2011-12 season.
In his Ballon d’Or acceptance speech, Kane thanked his Bayern teammates for their support and the competitive environment they create.
Bayern reached the semi-finals of the Champions League last season and are currently the only undefeated team in Europe’s top five leagues. They lead the Bundesliga table on goal difference and are 13th in the Champions League after four league phase matches.
