Are Bayern losing their edge? Saudi clubs set their sights on Harry Kane | OneFootball

Harry Kane has recently made a clear commitment to FC Bayern and has not ruled out a contract extension. Nevertheless, speculation about his future continues unabated - now even the Saudi Pro League is coming into focus.

As reported by the British Sun, the league bosses in Saudi Arabia want to continue their transfer offensive next summer. The goal is to lure more world stars to the desert - in addition to Bruno Fernandes from Manchester United, Harry Kane is also at the top of the wish list.

Although Kane is contractually bound to the record champions until 2027, an alleged exit clause is causing dynamism. According to this, the 32-year-old could leave the club for around 65 million euros. Given his current market value of about 75 million euros, this would be a comparatively cheap deal for interested clubs.

Sportingly, a move to Saudi Arabia would be a clear step back for Kane. Financially, however, a lucrative salary is tempting: Ex-Bayern star Kingsley Coman is said to earn around 25 million euros net at Al-Nassr - a sum that could even be exceeded for Kane.

In Munich, however, they are not thinking of a farewell. Sports director Max Eberl made it clear on Monday that an extension with Kane is quite realistic: "Harry is showing right now, he doesn't seem to be old at all, he seems to have fallen into a fountain of youth, how active he is on the field. For us, this is absolutely conceivable!"

Kane himself also emphasized after the 4:0 victory over Werder Bremen that he feels comfortable in Munich: "I still have almost two years. It's not like I'm in the last year of my contract and someone is panicking. I'm doing well. The club is doing well. Such conversations could take place."

Vlahovic as an option?

Regardless of the Kane situation, FC Bayern is closely monitoring the striker market. In particular, Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus Turin is said to be a serious candidate, should there be changes in the offense. The Serbian could potentially be an alternative or addition in the attack - especially if Kane eventually decides to take a new path.
