The England captain is expected to extend his current deal, which runs until 2027, by a further two years through to the summer of 2029. According to The Times, talks are set to continue in the coming days once Kane returns to the squad following his holiday. An agreement is considered increasingly likely. A significant pay rise is not expected, with Kane already among Bayern’s highest earners.
Both sides keen to continue
The direction of the negotiations comes as little surprise. At the end of July, Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen confirmed that both the club and Kane were interested in extending their agreement. At the time, he said that the decisive talks were expected to take place once the striker returned.
Kane’s current contract expires on 30 June 2027. An extension until 2029 would keep the 33-year-old in Munich for another two seasons and potentially see him remain at Bayern until shortly before his 36th birthday.
Speculation about a possible return to the Premier League has followed Kane for some time, while FC Barcelona have also repeatedly been linked with the striker. However, the England international and his family are understood to be settled in Munich, something Bayern officials have also stressed publicly on several occasions.
Remarkable scoring record in Munich
Bayern’s determination to keep their centre-forward is hardly surprising given his extraordinary numbers. Since joining from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2023, Kane has scored 146 goals in 147 competitive appearances for the German champions. Last season alone, he found the net 61 times in 51 matches.
The Englishman has also set new standards in the Bundesliga since his arrival. He scored 36 league goals in his debut campaign, immediately winning the European Golden Shoe. He then claimed the Bundesliga top-scorer award again in 2024/25 and 2025/26, scoring another 36 league goals last season.
His consistency has been particularly impressive. Since moving to Germany, Kane has averaged a Bundesliga goal every 78 minutes, giving him a better scoring rate than Robert Lewandowski and Gerd Müller managed during their respective spells at Bayern.
Major trophies remain the target
Kane’s move to Munich has also delivered the team success that had eluded him for much of his career. After years of individual awards without a major club trophy, he won his first Bundesliga title with Bayern in 2025. The following season, the club successfully defended the championship and added the DFB-Pokal to complete a domestic double.
One major prize is still missing from Kane’s collection: the Champions League. Bayern reached the semi-finals last season, and the opportunity to make another serious attempt at winning Europe’s biggest club competition is likely to play an important role in his future plans.
An extension until 2029 would therefore make sense for both sides. Bayern would retain one of their most important players, while Kane could continue competing for the biggest honours at the highest level. Given his remarkable scoring record and his central role in the team, a longer stay in Munich would come as little surprise.
