There are growing signs that Harry Kane will remain at FC Bayern beyond 2027, with recent reports suggesting that the club and player could reach an agreement sooner than previously expected
Since his move to Munich, Harry Kane has left no doubt as to how comfortable he feels at FC Bayern. The England international has publicly emphasised several times in recent weeks that he can very well imagine a long-term future at the Isar. The Säbener Straße has also long been convinced that they have found the right fixture in Kane, not only in sporting terms but also strategically. His current contract still runs until 2027, but intensive work is already underway behind the scenes to extend it
Will Kane stay at FC Bayer until 2029?
As BILD recently reported, there have already been initial informal talks between FC Bayern and the striker’s entourage. The Munich club’s aim is to clarify the situation, ideally before the 2026 World Cup. Now there is new momentum in the personnel matter: transfer insider Nicolo Schira reports that Kane is close to signing a new contract. „Kane is one step away from renewing his contract at Bayern,“ explains Schira
According to the report, a new contract until 2028 is currently being discussed, which would also include an option for a further year until 2029
Should this agreement actually be reached, it would be a strong signal – both internally and externally. Despite his age of 32, Kane is still absolutely world-class. Bayern see him not only as a goalscorer, but also as the central focal point of their attack for the coming years. The fact that they want to secure this personnel matter at an early stage fits in with the long-term squad strategy of sporting director Max Eberl
More than just a goalscorer
In sporting terms, Kane continues to deliver arguments on the assembly line. Only on Wednesday evening, he led FC Bayern to a 2-0 win against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise with a brace and thus made direct qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League perfect. With 38 goals in 29 competitive games, the Englishman is now one of the most efficient attacking players in Europe this season
But Kane’s value to the team goes far beyond goals and assists. The striker is increasingly acting as a playmaker, dropping back time and again, distributing balls and giving structure to Bayern’s play. At the same time, he is not afraid to contribute defensively and lead decisive duels in his own penalty area. It is precisely this mixture of leadership, game intelligence and coolness in front of goal that makes him so indispensable to Vincent Kompany
For FC Bayern, an early extension would therefore be more than just a contract detail. It would be a clear commitment to the sporting present – and to the near future. Should Kane actually be tied down until 2028 or even 2029, Munich would have planning security in the most important position in the team. Everything indicates that both sides are aiming for precisely this scenario.
