England captain Harry Kane has agreed a record-breaking contract extension with Bayern Munich that makes him the highest-paid player in Europe, according to reports published Thursday.

The deal, announced on November 5, 2026, surpasses all previous salary benchmarks across the continent's top leagues. Kane, who joined Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023, has established himself as the Bundesliga's leading scorer and a central figure in the club's domestic and Champions League campaigns.

Financial terms were not disclosed, but the agreement is understood to include significant performance-related bonuses alongside a base salary that exceeds those of Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid and Erling Haaland at Manchester City.
