Harry Kane leaves Tottenham to join Bayern Munich

England captain Harry Kane moved from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern Munich, Germany's record champions, on 12 August 2023. The striker signed a four-year contract running until 2027.

The fee was reported in the media at around 100 million euros, one of the highest in Bundesliga history. Kane had become Tottenham's all-time leading scorer but had not won a major trophy with the London club, so the move was seen as a fresh chapter in his career.

For Bayern, the signing was an important step toward filling the gap in attack left when Robert Lewandowski departed for Barcelona in 2022. The deal followed lengthy negotiations. It is the starting point for the current discussion about Kane's contract extension at the club.
