Harry Kane set to stay at Bayern Munich after turning down Saudi Arabia move

Harry Kane has rejected a lucrative offer from a Saudi Arabian club and has also declined the possibility of moving to Turkey or England, according to insider Nicolo Schira.

The Bayern Munich striker is now in discussions with the German club over an extension to his current contract, with the negotiations reportedly at an advanced stage.

The proposed new agreement would keep the England international at Bayern Munich until 2029. The club and player are understood to be close to resolving the remaining details, although no official announcement has been made.

Kane’s decision to turn down interest from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and England leaves a contract renewal with Bayern Munich as the most likely outcome in the near future.

Schira’s report says the offer from Saudi Arabia was particularly attractive financially. Despite that, Kane has chosen not to take up the opportunity to leave Bayern Munich for the Saudi Arabian league.

The striker has also rejected a return to England, as well as the option of continuing his career in Turkey. Those decisions have cleared the way for further talks with Bayern Munich over a longer-term commitment.

The proposed 2029 expiry date would represent a significant extension for Kane, who is currently 33. The forward has made two appearances for Bayern Munich in all competitions this season, but has yet to record a goal or an assist.

Bayern Munich and Kane are said to be at the final stage of discussions. The latest report indicates that the player’s immediate future is expected to remain in Germany, provided the negotiations conclude as anticipated.

No further details have been given about the identity of the Saudi Arabian club that made the offer, the value of its proposal or the precise terms of Kane’s potential new Bayern Munich contract.

For now, the central development is Kane’s reported decision to reject alternative destinations and continue talks with the Bundesliga club. His current campaign has begun with two appearances without a direct contribution, but the focus around the forward is now on the possibility of a contract extension through 2029.
