Bayern Munich remain eager to keep Harry Kane beyond 2027, when the English striker’s current contract expires.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl confirmed that “intensive talks” are underway with the 32-year-old forward.

“We're talking, that doesn't mean negotiations have started," Eberl told reporters. 

“We're in intensive talks with Harry, then the next steps will follow,” he continued.

According to Kicker, Kane is high on the wish list for clubs from Saudi Arabia, with at least one side reportedly “seriously working” on a deal and preparing a “highly lucrative offer” to bring him to the desert either next summer or in 2027.

Earlier reports claimed that a €60-70 million release clause in Kane’s contract for next summer would expire at the end of January, but Kicker now suggests other clubs may have until the end of February to trigger it.
