Shearer's 260-Goal Mark Stands Intact Following Kane's New Bayern Deal
Harry Kane has extended his contract at Bayern Munich through to 2029, securing his long-term future in Germany following his recent Ballon d’Or triumph. The 33-year-old England captain agreed terms on Thursday after registering 102 goals in 102 Bundesliga appearances since his £86m transfer from Tottenham Hotspur in August 2023.

The deal retains England’s top international goalscorer at the Allianz Arena until shortly before his 36th birthday, halting talk of a quick return to English domestic football. The decision leaves Kane on 213 Premier League goals, 47 short of Alan Shearer’s all-time record tally of 260.
