Harry Kane has committed his future to Bayern Munich, signing a contract extension that keeps the striker at the club until June 30, 2029. The deal, announced by the Bundesliga side on Thursday, secures the services of the reigning Ballon d’Or winner as he continues his tenure in Germany.
According to The Athletic, as reported by VoetbalPrimeur, this new agreement makes the 33-year-old the highest-paid player in Europe. While The Daily Mail estimates his weekly earnings at approximately £400,000, Sky Germany reports that the striker will receive a base salary of at least €25 million gross per year. The Athletic notes that this contract is the most lucrative in Bayern Munich’s history, serving as a reward for the forward’s prolific output since arriving from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023.
Performance and Output in Munich
Since joining the Bavarian club, Kane has maintained a high scoring rate. He has recorded 156 goals in 161 official appearances for the team. His trophy haul in Germany now includes two Bundesliga titles, the DFB-Pokal, and two Supercups.
The club signaled its intent to keep the veteran striker, with Bayern stating that "legends don’t stop, they want more." Kane himself expressed a desire to emulate the longevity of players like Luka Modric, Lionel Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo. "I feel completely at home at Bayern Munich," Kane said via the club’s official channels. "I love the club, the fans, and the city of Munich. We have a fantastic team and a fantastic trainer in Vincent Kompany."
Ambitions Under Vincent Kompany
The contract extension arrives as Kane looks to add the Champions League to his career achievements. He credited his family’s comfort in Munich as a primary factor in his decision to remain. "It makes me very proud to be part of this club," he added. "My whole family is very happy here. I really wanted to stay.
