Bayern Munich awards Harry Kane record contract, highest salary in Europe
Bayern Munich has given striker Harry Kane a record-breaking contract extension, making him the highest-paid footballer in Europe through June 2029.
England's Harry Kane has secured a new contract with Bayern Munich, extending his stay at the club until 2029. The 33-year-old striker's new deal, worth £27m per year, keeps him as the highest paid player in Germany's Bundesliga. The contract includes an enhanced bonus structure that could increase his total earnings to £27m annually. Despite not featuring a raise in basic salary, the new agreement represents a significant boost for the prolific forward.
Kane's move to Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023 has been highly successful, with the Englishman scoring 156 goals in 161 games and clinching five trophies, including two Bundesliga titles. In his statement, Kane expressed his pride in being part of the club, stating, "I feel right at home at FC Bayern. I love the club, the fans and the city of Munich."
Club president Herbert Hainer praised Kane's commitment to the team, describing him as "one of the greatest figures in the sport of our time." Sporting director Christoph Freund added, "We’re absolutely delighted because with Harry Kane we have the Ballon d’Or winner on the pitch – a team player, a leader, the best all-round striker in the world."
