FC Bayern has officially announced an important personnel decision: Harry Kane will remain with the Munich club for the long term. The German record champions have extended the English national team player’s contract early, through June 30, 2029. This makes it clear that the Ballon d’Or winner will continue his success story at Säbener Straße.
Since his transfer from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2023, Kane has become one of the most influential figures at FC Bayern. In 161 competitive matches, the 32-year-old has scored an impressive 156 goals so far. In the process, he has already won two German championships, one DFB Cup, and two German Super Cups with the Munich club. He has also claimed the top scorer title in every Bayern season so far.
For Kane himself, the contract extension was clearly a matter close to his heart. “I feel right at home at FC Bayern: I love the club, the fans, the city of Munich—we have a fantastic team and, in Vincent Kompany, a fantastic coach,” the Englishman explained in the club’s press release.
The forward also emphasized that his family feels very at home in Munich. He said he is proud to be part of the club and is looking forward to their future together. His goal, he said, is to win many more titles with FC Bayern.
Bayern executives rave about Kane
President Herbert Hainer also expressed his enthusiasm about the contract extension. What began as a major transfer has now become a special chapter in the club’s history. Kane has lived up to expectations and earned a permanent place in the hearts of the fans. Hainer also highlighted the work of CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen and the sporting management.
Dreesen described the agreement as great news for FC Bayern, its fans, and the Bundesliga. Since his arrival, Kane has impressed not only with his goals but also through his influence on the game and his role as a role model. He capped off his development in Munich by winning the Ballon d’Or. However, the story is far from over.
Sports Director Max Eberl sees the contract extension above all as an important signal for the future. It provides the club with planning security and underscores that the biggest goals are possible at FC Bayern. Kane is expected to continue playing a defining role and help shape the team’s sporting direction.
An extraordinary track record
Sports Director Christoph Freund described Kane as a team player, a leader, and the best striker in the world overall. Indeed, his record in Munich is remarkable: in addition to his national successes, he has twice won the Golden Boot as Europe’s top scorer. In 2026, he was finally honored with the Ballon d’Or.
Kane has also recently made a big impact on the international stage. As captain, he led England to a third-place finish at the World Cup in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. His future with FC Bayern is now secured through 2029. For the Munich club, this means their top scorer will remain the face of the offense for years to come.
