Harry Kane Confirms Talks on Bayern Munich Contract Extension Beyond 2027
Harry Kane has confirmed that talks are underway to extend his Bayern Munich contract beyond 2027, signaling his long-term commitment to the German giants. The 33-year-old striker, who joined in 2023 for €110 million, has been instrumental in Bayern's recent success, securing two Bundesliga titles, a DFB-Pokal, and the European Golden Shoe.
Bayern Munich's talismanic striker, Harry Kane, has confirmed that discussions have officially commenced regarding a contract extension that would see him remain at the Allianz Arena beyond his current deal, which expires in 2027. The revelation came on Friday, August 28, 2026, following recent club activities.

Speaking to reporters, the 33-year-old England captain stated, 'The first meeting started last week.'He emphasized the significance of this potential new agreement, noting, 'I'm 33. It's probably going to be, not my last contract. But it's a big contract for me to sign'. Kane expressed optimism for a positive outcome, adding, 'There's no panic from either side. I'm sure we'll get to a point where both sides are happy.'
A Bundesliga Blockbuster
Kane joined Bayern Munich in August 2023 from his boyhood club Tottenham Hotspur in a transfer reportedly worth €110 million, becoming the most expensive signing in Bundesliga history. Since his arrival, he has consistently shattered records and amassed silverware, transforming Bayern's attacking prowess.
In his debut 2023-2024 season, Kane netted an impressive 36 league goals, securing the coveted European Golden Shoe. Bayern, however, did not win the Bundesliga title in his first season. The 2024-2025 season saw him help Bayern regain the Bundesliga title. His most recent campaign, the 2025-2026 season, was even more remarkable, as he helped Bayern secure a domestic double, including a hat-trick in the 2026 DFB-Pokal final. Kane finished the 2025-2026 season with 61 goals for Bayern in all competitions.
Contract Negotiations: The Sticking Points
While both parties are reportedly keen on extending the partnership, the precise length of the new deal appears to be a key discussion point. Reports suggest Bayern Munich is aiming for a two-year extension, tying Kane down until 2029. Kane, however, is understood to be seeking a three-year deal, extending his stay until 2030, or at least a two-year deal with an option for a third. His current annual gross salary of approximately €25 million is expected to remain largely unchanged.
Max Eberl, Bayern's board member for sport, has affirmed the club's delight with Kane, stating, "We are super happy that he is with us." Bayern's patron, Uli Hoeneß, has also expressed optimism about an extension, noting the "very good personal level" of the ongoing talks.
