What new Kane deal means for England and the Premier League record
Harry Kane's new deal at Bayern Munich may end his Premier League career but offers fresh hope he can lead England to glory, writes Phil McNulty.
Harry Kane, England's captain and Ballon d'Or winner, has inked a new contract with Bayern Munich that extends his stay until 2029. The 33-year-old striker, who joined the German giants for £86 million in 2023, scored a club-record 61 goals in 51 games last season as Bayern secured a league and cup double. Kane expressed his joy at being part of the club, praising the team, fans, and manager Vincent Kompany.
The new deal ensures Kane's presence at Bayern until just before his 36th birthday, keeping him with the club through Euro 2028 and within a year of the 2030 World Cup. Despite being 47 goals away from breaking Alan Shearer's Premier League record, Kane remains committed to Bayern, further diminishing his chances of returning to England to break that record.
Kane's performance for England and Bayern in the 2025-26 season was exceptional, netting 73 goals in 65 matches for both clubs, and he was named the world's best male player at the Ballon d'Or ceremony. This new contract marks a significant milestone for Kane, solidifying his status as one of Europe's top strikers and a key figure for both England and Bayern Munich.
