Harry Kane expressed his contentment upon signing a two-year contract extension with Bayern Munich, extending his tenure until 2029. The 33-year-old captain, who joined the German champions from Tottenham in 2023, scored 156 goals in 161 games across all competitions. He praised the club, fans, and city of Munich, stating, "I feel right at home at FC Bayern.

I love the club, the fans and the city of Munich. We have a fantastic team and, in Vincent Kompany, a fantastic manager."
