Al Hilal Eyes Harry Kane Using Low Release Clause to Sign Star Forward
At 32 years old, England striker Harry Kane is a standout player at the 2026 World Cup, having scored six goals and preparing for the semifinal against defending champions Argentina. Meanwhile, European media report that Saudi club Al Hilal has initiated talks with Kane's representatives about a potential transfer this season. Kane has yet to decide but is reportedly considering the Saudi offer.
Journalist Sacha Tavolieri of Sky News revealed that Kane's contract with Bayern Munich includes a release clause of 65 million euros in its third year. If triggered, Bayern would have no choice but to accept any club willing to pay this amount. Al Hilal is seriously contemplating activating this clause to secure one of the biggest names to join the Saudi league.
Although Al Hilal has not yet contacted Bayern Munich directly, discussions with Kane's agents continue. Should a preliminary agreement be reached, the club may proceed with a formal offer. This move could mark a significant signing for the Saudi league, which has been increasingly active in attracting top international talent.
