Harry Kane Commits to Bayern Munich With a New Deal Reportedly Worth a Record Salary

Harry Kane has put an end to uncertainty over his club future, signing a fresh Bayern Munich contract that reportedly keeps him in Germany until 2029. The new agreement is said to make the England captain Europe’s highest-paid footballer by salary, though the article does not give a figure. Kane’s previous deal was due to expire at the end of the current campaign. Barcelona had been linked with a move, while Tottenham, his former club, reportedly had first option. But the striker and his family have settled in Munich, and he said he was keen to continue with Bayern. “I feel right at home at FC Bayern. I love the club, the fans and the city of Munich,” Kane said after signing. He praised the team and manager Vincent Kompany, adding that his family was happy in the city and that he hoped to win more trophies with the club. Bayern paid a reported £86 million to bring Kane from Tottenham in 2023. Since then, he has scored 156 goals and provided 40 assists in 161 appearances, according to the report, while claiming five pieces of silverware, including two league titles. The article also says he won the Ballon d’Or last month. Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen called the extension “fantastic news” for the club and the Bundesliga. He praised Kane’s contribution on the pitch and his influence as a role model, saying the striker had made Bayern his home. The club are due to visit Mainz before Kane joins England for Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain.
