Al-Hilal has entered preliminary negotiations with representatives of Harry Kane over a potential summer transfer, according to Sky Sport.

Kane, the Bayern Munich and England captain, has not made a decision. The 31-year-old wants to assess the full sporting and financial package on offer before committing to any move.

A release clause in Kane’s contract with Bayern could prove decisive. The agreement reportedly contains a provision allowing any interested club to sign him in the third year of his deal for €65 million. If activated, Bayern would have no grounds to block his departure.

Talks between the parties are expected to be the determining factor in whether a deal progresses. Notably, Bayern have not yet received any formal approach from Al-Hilal, suggesting discussions remain at an early stage.

Sky Sport added that negotiations could accelerate if Al-Hilal tables an offer that Kane and his representatives consider compelling.
