Harry Kane signs new Bayern Munich deal until 2029

Harry Kane has extended his stay at Bayern Munich. The England captain agreed a new deal with the German club that runs until 2029, the club's sources said on Wednesday, 5 November.

The deal is the latest step in Kane's time in Bavaria. He has been the club's main striker since he moved from Tottenham. He is also the Ballon d'Or winner, a fact that one report puts at the centre of its coverage of the signing.

What the contract is worth

One report says the new contract makes Kane the highest-paid footballer in Europe. None of the sources give a weekly wage, a total value or a transfer fee, so that claim cannot be checked against the figures here.

The reports do not include any quotes from Kane, the club or his agent about the agreement.

Why it matters

The deal keeps England's captain at one of Europe's biggest clubs for three more seasons. Bayern has not said whether the contract includes a release clause or any other terms that could affect a future move.

For fans in India, the story is mainly about football's biggest wage bills and where top players choose to play. It does not change any fixtures or broadcast plans in the sources.

What is not yet known

The sources do not say when the deal was agreed or whether it was signed in person. They also do not say whether the club or Kane's representatives will comment further. Fuller details on the money are still to come.
