Harry Kane Says New Bayern Munich Contract Is a Matter of Days Away

Harry Kane said on Monday, November 2, 2026, that he is extremely close to signing a new contract with Bayern Munich, and that an agreement is a matter of days rather than weeks. The 33 year old striker was speaking to media in Madrid ahead of Bayern's Champions League match at Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, November 3. His words are the clearest signal yet that his future will stay in Munich.

"There's been good conversations over this weekend and today as well. I know I keep saying we're close, but we are extremely close now. I'd say it's a matter of days," Kane said, in remarks carried by Bundesliga.com, the official Bundesliga site. The contract is not signed yet. Kane described talks as nearly complete, and nothing in his remarks announced a finished deal.

Talks that began in August

Talks on the extension have been ongoing since August. Kane is in the final stretch of the four year contract he signed when he joined Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2023. His current deal runs to the summer of 2027, so Bayern have moved well before the final year to settle the question of where their captain and top scorer will play next.

Kane did not announce the length of the proposed extension. Bavarian Football Works reports that the expected extension would keep Kane at Bayern through 2029 at roughly 25 million euros per year, which would be the highest yearly wage at the club. Those figures are reported only and are not confirmed. Kane himself gave no length and no wage figure in Madrid, and this report treats the 2029 date and the salary as unconfirmed until the club or the player announces them.

A Ballon d'Or winner in his best scoring run

The contract talks come one week after the biggest individual honour of Kane's career. Kane won the 2026 Ballon d'Or last week, becoming the first English player to win it since Michael Owen in 2001 and the first Bundesliga player to win it in 30 years. He finished ahead of Kylian Mbappe and Lamine Yamal in the vote.

His scoring record explains why Bayern want the deal closed. Since joining Bayern in 2023 for a reported base fee of 95 million euros, Kane has scored 156 goals in 160 competitive appearances for the club, according to Yardbarker's roundup of the Madrid press conference coverage. That is a rate of nearly a goal per game across three seasons in Germany.

The trophy Kane wants next

Kane said winning the Champions League with Bayern is his leading ambition, ahead of individual honours, as Bayern travelled to face Atletico Madrid in Champions League matchday 4 on Tuesday, November 3. The Ballon d'Or is won. The European Cup with Bayern is the target he named in Madrid, on the same day he told reporters his new contract is days away. If Kane signs, that signing will update this article in place.
