  "account": "Bayern Munich secured a new contract for Harry Kane, making him Europe's highest-paid player. Following multiple rounds of negotiations, the club announced on Thursday that Kane had agreed to a deal running until 2029. Kane's new salary will surpass his previous €25 million per year, setting a club-record for Bayern. The 33-year-old now holds the title of the highest-paid player in European football based on guaranteed salary. While some players may earn more overall with bonuses, AZ reports that Kane's new deal makes him the top earner in Europe in terms of guaranteed salary. Despite Kane being 33, Bayern does not view this as his final contract with the club.

Kane and his representatives initially sought a contract until 2030 or an option to extend the deal. However, Bayern ultimately made concessions to Kane in other areas, including his salary and image rights.",
