Harry Kane joined Bayern Munich in 2023 and has enjoyed numerous goalscoring successes.
The 33-year-old striker has scored 156 goals in 161 appearances in all competitions for Bayern, and capped off his phenomenal spell in Munich by winning the Ballon d'Or last week. He was the first Englishman to win this prestigious award since Michael Owen in 2001.
At Bayern it's like home
"I feel at home at Bayern," Kane said in a statement after signing the contract, as quoted by Reuters.
"I love the club, the fans and Munich. We have a fantastic team and an excellent coach in Vincent Kompany. I am very proud to be part of this club. My family is very happy here. I was very keen to stay. Now I am looking forward to the future and want to win many more titles with this great club," added the English sniper.
Kane doesn't want to go back to England
Kane has often been linked with a return to England, where he is 47 goals away from equaling Alan Shearer's Premier League record of 260 goals. However, the striker already stated in August that the Premier League no longer attracts him as much as before, because he is focusing on his career in Germany.
“Since joining us in 2023, he has achieved extraordinary things with his goals, his influence on the game and as a role model both on and off the pitch,” said Bayern president Jan-Christian Dreesen.
"The contract extension is a commitment to Bayern and to a story that is still far from over," he added.
A lucrative contract for Kane
Bayern did not disclose the financial details of the contract. However, German media report that the extension is the most lucrative contract in the club's history and is part of a long-term commitment to the England captain.
Kane finished each season for Bayern as the Bundesliga's top scorer and was named Germany's Footballer of the Year in 2026. He also won the Golden Boot, the top scorer award in European leagues, twice, and led England to third place at this year's World Cup.
