Kane extends Bayern Munich contract through 2029

Bayern Munich announced on Thursday that Harry Kane has signed a contract extension keeping him at the club until 2029, after the England captain said he wanted to stay in Munich. The agreement extends the striker’s stay beyond his previous deal, which had entered its final year. Kane said he felt at home at Bayern and that his family was happy in the city. He said he was keen to remain and wanted to win more titles with the club. Bayern did not disclose the contract’s financial terms. The 33-year-old joined Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023. He has scored 156 goals in 161 appearances for the German club, according to the announcement coverage, and has won five trophies there, including two Bundesliga titles. Kane won the Ballon d’Or last month, becoming the first Englishman to receive the award since Michael Owen in 2001, according to reports. Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund said the club was delighted to extend Kane’s contract, describing him as a team player and leader. Chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen said Kane had achieved a great deal since joining in 2023 and that the extension represented a commitment to the club. Board member for sport Max Eberl...
