Saudi Pro League clubs are once again making headlines in the global transfer market, with Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane emerging as a high-profile target ahead of the upcoming summer window.
A fresh report has revealed new details surrounding a potential release clause in Kane’s Bayern contract, intensifying speculation about his long-term future in Germany.
Kane’s stunning form fuels transfer interest
Kane has enjoyed another exceptional season since joining Bayern Munich, further reinforcing his reputation as one of world football’s most reliable goal scorers.
The England captain has found the net 24 times in just 21 Bundesliga appearances, underlining his immediate impact in German football.
Across all competitions this season, Harry Kane has amassed an extraordinary 45 goals and nine assists in 40 matches, numbers that have inevitably drawn attention from clubs outside Europe.
Despite being under contract at Bayern Munich until 2027, Kane’s prolific form has made him a prime target for ambitious teams seeking a proven, elite-level forward.
Saudi Pro League monitoring Harry Kane situation
According to reports, Saudi Pro League sides Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad are closely tracking Kane’s situation. The renewed interest stems from the emergence of a reported release clause in his Bayern deal, believed to be set at a maximum of €70 million (£61m/$83m). Crucially, the clause is now said to expire at the end of February rather than January, as previously assumed.
However, activating the clause would require Kane to formally inform Bayern of his intention to leave, adding another layer of complexity to any potential move.
Bayern Munich , for their part, are keen to retain the striker and are understood to be pushing for an extension to his stay at the Allianz Arena.
Premier League links and Kane’s current stance
While Saudi clubs are monitoring developments, interest is not limited to the Middle East. Several unnamed Premier League sides have reportedly made contact with Harry Kane’s representatives, keeping tabs on the evolving situation.
That said, Kane is believed to be settled in Munich, having relocated his family to Germany following his move from Tottenham Hotspur.
It remains unclear whether the striker would be open to a switch to Saudi Arabia at this stage of his career, particularly given his focus on international ambitions.
World Cup focus shapes Kane’s future plans
Kane is unlikely to rush into any major career decision before the 2026 World Cup, where England will head to North America with high expectations. Speaking about the national team’s outlook, Kane said:
“I think it's as good as we've ever had, I think when you look at starting 11, you look at the players coming off the bench, we're going to go into the tournament as one of the favourites, we have to accept that.”
Former England teammate Conor Coady also praised Harry Kane’s influence, stating:
“Harry Kane plays every minute of every game because he does the job. Playing for his country means a lot to him - it is a pleasure to watch him.”
As the release clause deadline approaches, speculation around Kane’s future is expected to intensify.
