Kylian Mbappé's pay compared as Harry Kane extends Bayern deal to 2029
Harry Kane has extended his Bayern Munich contract to 2029. Reported wage figures put him below Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland and Vinícius Júnior.
Kylian Mbappé's name has come up in searches as Harry Kane signed a new Bayern Munich contract running to 2029. Kane, 33, was recently named the world's best player with the Ballon d'Or, and Bayern moved quickly to keep him. Reported wage figures for Kane and Mbappé have drawn attention, though the club has not officially confirmed the financial details.
A new deal and a record at Bayern
Kane joined Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur for £86m in August 2023. He has since scored 102 goals in 102 Bundesliga matches, won two league titles and claimed three successive Golden Boot awards. Sports Illustrated reports he scored 61 times at club level last season.
According to The Athletic, Kane is now the highest-paid player in Bayern's history. The Daily Mail has reported that he earns $535,000 a week, which it says is more than any other player in Europe earns before bonuses. These figures have not been officially confirmed.
How his wages compare with Mbappé and Haaland
Capology's database puts Kane's fixed wage at $609,000 a week, rising to $762,000 with bonuses. That is still below the figures reported for several rivals.
- Kylian Mbappé: reported at $1.54 million a week at Real Madrid
- Erling Haaland: reported at $1.16 million a week at Manchester City
- Vinícius Júnior: reported at $1.08 million a week at Real Madrid, after a recent extension
- Cristiano Ronaldo: reported at $5.41 million a week at Al Nassr, about $281 million a year
Sports Illustrated notes that Ronaldo's current deal expires next summer. Sadio Mané and Kalidou Koulibaly, both in Saudi Arabia, are also reported to earn more than Kane.
Kane's reasons for staying
Kane said the trophies mattered more to him than the money. "I'm extremely happy, but as always, I want to be competing for the best trophies, the biggest trophies," he said. He added that the decision had been made some time ago, and that he expected to sign once talks resumed after the World Cup.
Despite speculation linking him with Barcelona and a possible Premier League return, Kane has made clear he intends to stay in Munich. ESPN's report on the signing carries his stated aim of winning more titles.
What it means for England and the record books
The BBC notes that the deal runs out shortly before Kane's 36th birthday, which makes a Premier League return unlikely. Former England striker Chris Sutton told BBC Sport that Kane's football intelligence should keep him effective for several more years.
Kane has 213 league goals in 320 games for Tottenham and 91 goals in 125 England caps. He is 47 short of Alan Shearer's Premier League record of 260 goals. Euro 2028, to be held in the UK and Ireland, is reported to be a major target for him.
For now, Kane's contract settles his future at Bayern until 2029. The open questions are how long he can maintain his form and whether he will add major honours to his record.
