Bundesliga expiring contracts 2027: Harry Kane, Manuel Neuer, Emre Can

The Bundesliga is one of Europe's leading football leagues, attracting established international stars, emerging talent and players competing for major honours. Its clubs have different approaches to recruitment and squad building, with contract decisions often playing an important role in shaping their plans for the seasons ahead.

Bayern Munich are the league's reigning champions, having reclaimed the Bundesliga title in 2025-26. The German top flight also features clubs such as Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig, who regularly compete for European qualification and look to challenge Bayern's domestic dominance.

With contracts due to expire in June 2027, the coming months could be important for clubs seeking to retain key players or avoid losing them without a transfer fee. Some players may agree extensions, while others could consider a new challenge as their deals approach their final year.

Here, Football Whispers provides a full list of the Bundesliga players whose contracts expire in 2027.

Bundesliga expiring contracts 2027

The biggest Bundesliga players out of contract in 2027

Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)

Harry Kane is one of the biggest names on the Bundesliga's 2027 expiring-contract list, with Bayern Munich confirming his deal runs until 30 June 2027. The England captain joined from Tottenham Hotspur in August 2023 and has become a central part of Bayern's attack, winning Bundesliga titles and establishing himself as one of the competition's leading goalscorers.

A renewal would allow Bayern to retain an experienced striker who is already familiar with the club's system. However, Kane will be 33 when his current contract expires, making the length and financial terms of a potential extension relevant considerations.

An exit would attract attention from clubs across Europe, although there is no confirmed indication that he is preparing to leave Munich.

David Raum (RB Leipzig)

David Raum is a particularly important contract case for RB Leipzig because he is the club captain and an established Germany international. Leipzig have confirmed their interest in extending his deal, which is due to expire in 2027, and said discussions with the player and his representatives were planned for September 2026.

Raum joined Leipzig from Hoffenheim in 2022 and has become a regular contributor from left-back, offering attacking width, crossing and set-piece delivery.

The club's stated intention to negotiate gives a renewal a clear basis, although an agreement had not been confirmed in the cited report. If talks stall, interest from other clubs could become a factor as the contract moves closer to expiry.

Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich)

Manuel Neuer is approaching the final year of his Bayern Munich contract after signing a one-year extension in May 2026, keeping him at the club until 30 June 2027. The veteran goalkeeper has been Bayern's captain since 2017 and remains an important figure in the dressing room as well as between the posts.

However, Neuer has suggested that the 2026-27 campaign could be his last as a professional footballer. In July 2026, he indicated that retirement when his current deal expires looks increasingly likely, meaning another extension is far from certain.

Bayern have already prepared for the future by bringing in Jonas Urbig, who is part of the club's goalkeeping group alongside Neuer and Sven Ulreich.

Unless Neuer changes his mind, retirement appears to be a realistic possibility rather than a transfer to another club. His decision will be one of Bayern's major goalkeeping developments to follow during the season.

Emre Can (Borussia Dortmund)

Emre Can is also contracted until 30 June 2027 after Borussia Dortmund extended his deal by a year in March 2026. The Germany international and club captain was approaching the end of his previous contract when Dortmund confirmed the renewal, underlining the importance they attach to his leadership and experience.

Can's immediate priority, however, is his recovery from a serious knee injury, having suffered a cruciate ligament tear in February 2026 and underwent surgery, with Dortmund confirming that he would be out for several months and expected to return during the following season.

His contract situation will therefore be closely linked to his recovery and his role once he is back in contention. Dortmund have publicly backed him through his rehabilitation, but there is no confirmed agreement beyond 2027.

A further extension could depend on his fitness and contribution after returning to action.
