5 Nov
Summary

- Football salaries are complex estimates based on various reports.
Harry Kane has reportedly extended his contract with Bayern Munich through 2029, positioning him as Europe's highest-paid player by base salary. This agreement is understood to be the most significant in the club's history, following his €95 million transfer in 2023.
Reporters suggest Kane will receive an "exorbitantly high annual salary," with estimates ranging, though Bayern Munich's CEO noted the club "stretched" financially for the deal. Previously, Erling Haaland was considered Europe's top earner, with weekly base salaries estimated around €621,000 or £525,000, amounting to approximately €32.2 million annually.
While precise figures for Kane are not officially disclosed, some reports suggest a base salary of at least €25 million, with potential bonuses significantly increasing his earnings. This could place him above Jamal Musiala, who reportedly earned €35.2 million with bonuses. Cristiano Ronaldo's reported €208 million base salary at Al-Nassr dwarfs European figures, indicating a different financial scale in Saudi football.
