Harry Kane is being targeted by Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal, with the former Tottenham Hotspur strikers future at Bayern Munich under the microscope. The England captain is currently preparing for his fourth season at Bayern , having left Spurs back in 2023.

Kane has returned to Bayern after being granted an extended summer break following his involvement with the England squad at the World Cup, and has now entered the final 12 months of his contract with the Bundesliga champions. As a result, there have been rumours about whether or not the 33-year-old will put pen to paper on an extension, or leave the Allianz Arena to join a new club.

Saudi billionaires Al Hilal are plotting a sensational swoop for Kane. But Kane is not prepared to join the Saudi Pro League at this stage of his career - and is closing in on a new deal with Bayern.

Kane tops Hilal's shortlist of future signings, which also includes Ollie Watkins and Victor Osimhen. And Hilal president Nawaf bin Saad will keep tabs on Kane's situation, with a view to luring him to Saudi in the future with a deal worth a whopping 1.2m-a-week.

Kane has entered the final 12 months of his current deal with Bayern, and wants to extend it. The former Tottenham striker put talks on hold until after the World Cup, where he led England to within minutes of a place in the final.

With rumours around Kanes future continuing to generate speculation, the striker recently addressed his contract situation at Bayern, where he admitted that he is relaxed about his future.

We obviously said we wanted to talk after the World Cup and after my holiday, Kane said last month, via Kicker. So Im not sure exactly when, but theyll start this week, next week well start those talks.

Like Ive said before, were calm, I think theyre calm with the situation.

Obviously now is the time to start talking, because theres only a year left. Thats important. But both sides are relaxed, and Im pretty sure therell be some talks this week or next week.
