Ballon d'Or Winner Rejects Premier League Return With New 2029 Deal
Harry Kane signed a contract extension with Bayern Munich on November 5, 2026, committing his future to the German club until 2029. The deal secures the 33-year-old striker following his recent Ballon d’Or victory over Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappé.

The commitment anchors Bayern Munich’s forward line under manager Vincent Kompany, maintaining the offensive structure that produced a domestic league and cup double in the 2024/25 campaign. Kane has recorded 156 goals in 161 competitive appearances for the club since joining from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023, including 10 goals and eight assists in 14 appearances during the current 2026/27 season.

clubThe agreement formally halts ongoing speculation regarding Kane’s potential return to English football. Standing at 213 Premier League goals, Kane remains 47 goals short of Alan Shearer’s all-time division record of 260. The extended term in Germany shifts his immediate targets exclusively to continental competitions and international fixtures with England.
Bayern Munich faces a dense winter calendar across domestic and European competitions, with Kane’s extension ensuring stability for the club’s core attack through the remainder of the season frame.

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 and I want to win many more titles with this great club.”
“We’re delighted to have successfully extended Harry Kane’s contract,” Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said. “This is fantastic news for us, for our fans and for the Bundesliga. The Ballon d’Or winner is staying at Bayern Munich.”
