England striker Harry Kane is reportedly on the brink of extending his contract with Bayern Munich until 2029, according to multiple sources that have spoken to ESPN. Bayern’s sporting director Max Eberl confirmed on Friday that negotiations are progressing positively, though he added that nothing has been formally announced yet. “I’ve read that too, but haven’t heard anything,” Eberl said, echoing a statement made earlier in the week that the club remains optimistic but has no official announcement to make.
Kane’s current deal is set to expire in June 2027, and the 33‑year‑old has repeatedly expressed a desire to stay in Munich. When asked by reporters ahead of Bayern’s upcoming clash with Leipzig, head coach Vincent Kompany echoed the same sentiment: “Talks are going well, but there is still nothing to announce.” Kompany’s comments underline that while the club and the striker are in friendly discussions, a formal contract extension is still pending.
Since joining Bayern in 2023, Kane has become a key figure in the team’s recent triumphs, helping secure the Bundesliga titles in 2025 and 2026 and the DFB‑Pokal in 2026. His individual achievements are equally impressive; he became the fastest player to reach 100 Bundesliga goals, doing so in just 98 matches, and has scored 154 goals in 156 appearances for the club. On the international stage, Kane recently earned his 125th cap for England, equalling Peter Shilton’s long‑standing record, and remains the country’s all‑time leading scorer with 91 goals.
Kane himself has spoken openly about the potential extension. During a recent England duty interview, he remarked that the talks are moving in the right direction and that both sides are relaxed about the process. “I’ve been quite open and honest about that. We are still in talks now and I think they are progressing in the right way,” he said. “Everyone can see I am happy there, the way I’m performing, the way I talk off the pitch. I am hoping something gets done.”
With the Ballon d’Or announcement scheduled for October 26, Kane remains a favourite among the contenders, and a new contract would solidify his status as one of the world’s premier forwards. The next development will likely come after Bayern’s match against Leipzig, where any formal announcement would be expected to follow the club’s tradition of revealing contract extensions after successful fixtures.
