In an interview with reporters on Monday, Kane stated that he plans to enter negotiations with Bayern Munich regarding a possible contract extension beyond 2027. While an extension is widely expected, the primary concern lies in determining whether it would extend until 2029 or 2030. Nevertheless, despite the likelihood of a contract extension with Bayern, Al-Hilal seems determined to attract the 33-year-old striker to their Saudi Arabian club. Sources indicate that Kane's brother and primary representative, Charlie Kane, met with Al-Hilal's technical director of football, Simon Francis, over the weekend.

However, it remains highly unlikely that Kane would opt for a transfer to Saudi Arabia over the opportunity to continue his career at Bayern Munich.",
