Bayern Munich have reached a breakthrough in contract negotiations with Harry Kane. The German record champions and their star striker have agreed on a new deal that will run until 2029.

The England captain confirmed the progress himself. He said they were very close to an agreement and that he was happy at his current club. Final details of the new contract are still being clarified, but the formal signature is imminent.

Kane, who joined from Tottenham Hotspur for a large transfer fee in 2023, has become the central figure in Bayern's attack. In many competitive appearances, he has scored a high number of goals and provided assists. He has won multiple Bundesliga titles, one DFB-Pokal, and two DFL-Supercups, claiming the Bundesliga top scorer award in every season since his arrival. His previous contract was set to expire next summer.

The agreement comes at a time when Vincent Kompany's team has shown inconsistent recent form. Their last five matches have yielded just one win, two draws, and two defeats. In one match, Kane scored twice, including a penalty.

By securing their top scorer and leader long-term, Bayern Munich create planning certainty for the coming years.
