Harry Kane set to stay at Bayern with new deal close

Harry Kane is expected to continue his career at Bayern Munich, with fresh reports indicating the England captain is close to agreeing a new contract with the Bundesliga club.

According to the source material, discussions are due to resume this summer after what were described as productive talks earlier in the year. The development points to Kane staying in Munich despite interest from elsewhere and follows another prolific season for both club and country.

Kane leaning towards Bayern stay

Kane had previously been linked with a possible move away, with a clause in his contract said to have allowed him to join another club in the summer of 2026 for 65 million euros. He has not chosen that route, however, and Bayern now appear increasingly confident of keeping one of their most important players.

Interest has come from Saudi Arabia, where Al-Hilal were again reported to be pushing to sign the striker. Barcelona also made an enquiry after Robert Lewandowski's departure, but the indication from the reporting is that Kane is settled in Munich and intends to remain in Germany.

If the new agreement is completed, it would further underline Bayern's commitment to a player who has quickly become central to the team on and off the pitch.

Another huge season for club and country

The 33-year-old arrives at this point after an outstanding campaign. For Bayern, he scored 61 goals in all competitions, including 36 in the Bundesliga, and added seven assists across 51 appearances.

Those numbers leave open the possibility that he could push towards Robert Lewandowski's Bundesliga benchmark of 41 goals from the 2020/21 season in the next league campaign.

Kane also played a major role for England at the 2026 World Cup. Although England fell short of the final after a semi-final defeat to Argentina, he was still one of the standout figures in Thomas Tuchel's side. He scored six goals and supplied one assist during the tournament, finishing sixth among the competition's top scorers.

He was also highlighted for his contribution in England's first knockout match against DR Congo, and he ended the tournament with a bronze medal after England's win over France.

What a new contract could mean

The source material states that Kane's current Bayern deal runs until 2027 and that he earns around £400,000 per week. Reports suggest a new contract would increase that figure further and make him the best-paid player in Bundesliga history.

For Bayern, tying Kane down would remove uncertainty before the new season and secure the future of a striker who has delivered elite output since arriving in Bavaria. For Kane, it would represent a clear statement after a summer in which transfer speculation again surrounded his name.

Attention turns to the new season

With his future seemingly moving towards resolution, focus can soon return to the pitch. Bayern's first league game of the new season is against Stuttgart on 28 August. Before that, they have the chance to compete for silverware when they face Borussia Dortmund in the German Super Cup on 22 August.

If a new contract is finalised, Bayern would head into that period with one of the biggest questions around the squad effectively answered: their leading striker is staying put.
