Harry Kane is currently enjoying the best time of my life after signing a lucrative new contract at Bayern Munich.The deal had been in the pipeline for some time but was announced on Thursday morning with Kane agreeing to stay at the Allianz Arena until 2029.It caps a wonderful fortnight for the 33-year-old, who last week won the Ballon dOr in London.This is the best time of my life. Last season was too these are the best moments both on and off the pitch. Its been quite mad of late in a good way. Personally, I dont necessarily need the attention; its quite a lot to take in, emotionally and mentally. But its a great place to be, he said.Im not the sort of person who lets it go to my head; there are bound to be some low points just round the corner that Ill have to deal with. Im staying focused, and the last year has been incredible. At the moment, I feel really at home hopefully itll stay that way for a long time to come.Kane I always believed in myselfKane left Tottenham for Bayern in the summer of 2023 and has gone from strength to strength, contributing hugely to the club winning two Bundesliga titles with 156 goals in 161 games.He added: When a club like Bayern comes in, its exciting. I imagined challenging for the league, the cup and the Champions League every year. But theres also the pressure to perform on the pitch and off it, having that connection to the fans and the club.It was a big move. I felt comfortable at Tottenham. Its obviously difficult making such a big move, but Ive always believed in myself. Wherever Ive played, Ive scored goals and helped my team thats happened here too. The belief in yourself is an important factor.Kane has impressed as much off the field as on it during his time in Bavaria, a point the clubs heirarchy was eager to point out.Sporting director Max Eberl said: Harry is a true professional, just as youd imagine. Its not just about his outstanding, world-class performances on the pitch, but also about the man who embodies everything football should be.Hes a family man. In todays world, which is so frenzied, to have someone like him who would have every reason to say hes something special, yet doesnt thats what makes him extraordinary, both as a footballer and as a person. After the 4-1 defeat in Barcelona at the start of Vincent Kompanys tenure, Harry stood up and gave a speech. That really impressed me. Hes a role model both on and off the pitch; you dont need many words thats enough.Kane deal was worth every cent Bayern CEOKanes renewal is a sign of intent for Bayern, who have reportedly made the England captain the highest-paid player in Europe.CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said: Three years ago, this was our biggest transfer. Harry was worth every cent, though, in every respect. He carries the play, makes his team-mates better and is a role model beyond the sport.If we want to remain attractive, to compete at the top in Europe, we have to be financially strong. We want to use every cent we earn to be as good as possible. And when the worlds best player gets a top contract, thats only logical. We want to be stable and sensible financially, but we also want to have the best team and win. Thats not easy against the financial power of other clubs, but were managing it pretty well.
