Record-breaking deal! Harry Kane signs Bayern's richest-ever contract
Harry Kane has secured a sensational new deal that could rewrite the salary records of European football.
Details: Bayern Munich have officially announced a contract extension for their 33-year-old star striker Harry Kane. The England captain has signed a new agreement running until June 30, 2029, replacing his previous deal, which was set to expire in the summer of 2027.
The financial terms of the agreement have caused a major stir. The new contract is being described as the most lucrative in Bayern Munich's history, with reports suggesting that Kane could now become the highest-paid footballer in Europe in terms of salary.
However, the exact figures of the Englishman's new salary have not yet been disclosed. The agreement brings an end to months of negotiations between the striker and the German giants.
Just days before signing, Kane had publicly confirmed that talks were extremely close to completion, insisting that reaching an agreement was a matter of days rather than weeks.
It is worth noting that Kane joined Bayern from Tottenham in August 2023. According to the Bundesliga's November 3 update, the English striker had scored an incredible 156 goals in 160 competitive appearances for the Munich club. He also won the 2026 Ballon d'Or.
