Harry Kane is set to sign a new contract at Bayern Munich, GIVEMESPORT understands. Talks will resume this summer after productive discussions earlier in the year.
Kane scored an astonishing 36 goals in 31 games as Bayern won the Bundesliga. He also added a further five assists last season.
Bayern are relaxed about Kane's future despite links with other clubs. Kane had a €65million release clause, active in January, but specifically for this summer. It needed to be triggered last winter if Kane wanted to leave during this window.
Saudi side asked about Harry Kane's availability

Barcelona had an enquiry following the departure of Robert Lewandowski and are under the impression Kane will remain in Germany. He is settled both on and off the field.
GMS can also reveal Al-Hilal have made an approach this summer to understand Kane's situation. The Saudi side, who have former Bournemouth technical director Simon Francis working for them and are also expected to hire Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes, have already agreed a deal worth around £65million to sign Crysencio Summerville from West Ham United.
Al Hilal have been engaged in on-off negotiations with Kane since summer 2023. They also made an approach before the Club World Cup last summer, and Kane made it clear he wasn't looking to leave Bayern.
Kane has never ruled out moving to Saudi one day, but had no intention to depart a year before the 2026 World Cup. Sources have told GMS that Al-Hilal agreed to revisit the situation with Kane this summer.
Al-Hilal must also clarify the future of Karim Benzema. Saudi sources say the club have discussed registering the former Ballon d'Or winner only for Asian Champions League games, although this is not an idea the French striker is on board with. Darwin Núñez is also waiting for his own future to be resolved.
Premier League return now off the cards for Kane

There was talk earlier in the window, with question marks over whether or not Kane would sign a new contract in Germany, that he could make a move back to the Premier League with either former club Tottenham Hotspur or Manchester United. But a contract renewal will now end any talk of an England return.
Kane is second on the list of all-time top Premier League goalscorers, just 47 behind Alan Shearer at the top of the pile. He will turn 33 later this month and is running out of time to make the move back to claim that record in England.
