Kane nears Bayern deal
Harry Kane has agreed a new deal in principle with Bayern Munich that would keep him at the German champions until the summer of 2029. Bayern Munich are finalising the paperwork on the contract extension, and Kane is poised to extend his Bayern stay. The agreement in principle would run until June 2029, with only the necessary paperwork remaining before the extension can be formalised.
Kane is in the final year of his current deal and negotiations over a fresh deal are progressing positively, with Kane and Bayern edging towards an agreement. The BBC also notes that Kane, 33, has agreed the extension in principle while his current contract expires in the summer of 2027, meaning the new agreement would take him to the age of 35.
Numbers and Ballon d'Or
Bayern’s case for keeping Kane is built on his scoring record, with beIN SPORTS stating he has made 156 competitive appearances for Bayern Munich, scoring 154 goals. Kane’s 73 goals for club and country last season put him in strong contention for the men’s Ballon d’Or, and he has scored 154 goals in 156 matches since moving from Tottenham to Bayern in 2023. Kane lifted the Bundesliga title in 2025 and successfully defended it the following season, when he also won the DFB-Pokal.
Kane is the favourite to win the Ballon d'Or later this month, and it ties that expectation to his move to the Allianz Arena in the summer of 2023. The BBC’s gossip roundup places the contract talks alongside other transfer-linked names, including Arda Guler agreeing a new contract with Real Madrid and Liverpool leading the race for Bournemouth’s Alex Scott.
Kane’s own message
Kane told RTE.ie that talks were going well, saying, "Talks are going well. I’ve been quite open and honest about that."
“Talks are going well. I’ve been quite open and honest about that.”
Kane added, "We are still in talks now and I think they are progressing in the right way," and he said both sides had been "very relaxed about it."
RTE.ie reports that Kane has always stated his desire to stay at the Bundesliga club, and it says the two parties are edging towards an agreement with some final details to iron out.
Max Eberl said, "There are talks behind the scenes and they have gone well."
Bayern’s plan is to finalise the contract extension before the Ballon d’Or ceremony on October 26, while the paperwork is being finalised for the extension until 2029.
