Harry Kane lands highest salary in Europe as Ballon d’Or winner announces decision on future

England captain Harry Kane has signed a three-year contract extension with Bayern Munich. The Ballon d’Or winner lands what is thought to be the most lucrative deal in Bayern Munich history, making him the highest paid player in Europe by salary. Kane’s contract extension ties him down until 2029 and ends any speculation around his future. The 33-year-old was set to enter the final six months of his pre-existing deal with Spanish giants Barcelona eyeing him up . According to The Sun, Kane’s new deal is worth £401,115-a-week and £20,858,000 each year. Erling Haaland became the highest-paid player in Premier League history when he agreed a £250million nine-year deal with Manchester City in January 2025, working out at around £525,000-a-week. Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe is thought to earn around £518,000-a-week at Real Madrid. However, both of these deals include bonuses and Kane’s new basic salary is thought to be higher. He said: “I feel right at home at FC Bayern. “I love the club, the fans and the city of Munich. We have a fantastic team and, in Vincent Kompany, a fantastic manager. “It makes me very proud to be part of this club. “My whole family is very happy here. I was keen to stay. “I’m now looking forward to the future and I want to win many more titles with this great club.” World’s best player Bayern Munich also expressed their delight at securing the services of Kane for the foreseeable future. “We’re absolutely delighted, because with Harry Kane we have the Ballon d’Or winner on the pitch – a team player, a leader, the best all-round striker in the world,” said Christoph Freund, Bayern’s sporting director. “We all benefit from his qualities as a player and as a person, day in, day out. “FC Bayern thrives on players who never stop giving their all, even when they have already achieved the greatest of goals.”
