Bayern Munich have officially signaled their intent to keep Harry Kane at the heart of their project for the foreseeable future.
On Monday, January 26, 2026, sporting director Max Eberl confirmed that the club has entered active negotiations to extend the England captain's contract, which is currently set to expire in June 2027.
The news comes as Kane continues to shatter records in Bavaria, further cementing his status as one of the greatest strikers to ever grace the Bundesliga.
The Details: What’s on the Table?
Bayern are reportedly looking to add an additional one or two years to Kane’s deal, potentially keeping him at the Allianz Arena until 2028 or 2029.
The Wage: Kane currently earns a staggering €480,000 per week, making him the highest-paid player in Germany. Any extension is expected to maintain or slightly enhance this elite status.
The "No-Rush" Policy: Despite interest from FC Barcelona (who are seeking a successor for the 37-year-old Robert Lewandowski) and romanticized rumors of a return to Tottenham, both Kane and Bayern appear relaxed.
The Decision: "We are in talks with Harry," Max Eberl stated at a Bundesliga event in Frankfurt. "Everyone knows at some point a decision has to be made."
Why Now? The "Alan Shearer" Factor
The timing of these talks is significant. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, securing Kane’s future allows the striker to focus entirely on his quest for international and club silverware.
If Kane signs until 2029, it would effectively signal the end of his chase for Alan Shearer’s Premier League goal record (260 goals). Kane currently sits at 213, but his happiness in Munich and the "Kompany project" seem to have outweighed the lure of English records.
The Verdict: This is a massive win for Bayern Munich. By securing Kane, they ensure they remain the most feared attacking unit in Europe. For Kane, it’s a commitment to a club where he has finally found the silverware and "world-class" recognition his talent always deserved.
