Harry Kane could turn down a return to the Premier League with Manchester United in favour of a move to Saudi Arabia if he leaves Bayern Munich.

The 32-year-old is believed to be happy at Bayern, but with his contract currently set to expire in 2027, some doubts about his long-term future have emerged.

Honorary club president Uli Hoeness recently spoke about the England international’s future, and confessed a big offer from the Saudi Pro League could lure him away.

Meanwhile, former Man United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that the money on offer in the Middle East would be hard for any player to turn down.

Bayern Munich are still in contract talks with Kane and hope to see him renew his terms, but his potential availability has put clubs on alert, with Man United among those interested.

Why Harry Kane could snub Man United deal

Brown told Football Insider on 1 April that Man United are keeping tabs on Kane in case he is allowed to leave Bayern Munich when his contract expires.

There is a feeling a return to the Premier League could be tempting as he eyes Alan Shearer’s goalscoring record, but it is currently unlikely.

Despite ongoing claims that Kane is happy in Bavaria and has no plans to move on as things stand, interest from the Middle East could turn his head.

“By all accounts, Kane is happy and enjoying life at Bayern Munich,” Brown told Football Insider.

“That’s probably not going to change, but if there is a suggestion he could leave, the interest will be there from Man United and other Premier League clubs.

“Ultimately, the money on offer in Saudi Arabia is going to be hard to turn down for any player.

“Especially by the time next summer comes around, he’ll be 34 and in the latter stages of his career, so why not take one last big payday?

“It obviously will depend on how he feels about the move, about leaving Bayern Munich and whether he would want to come back to Engalnd.

“But he’s happy at Bayern, so I think if anything was going to tempt him to move on it would be the money on offer rather than anything else.”

What is Man United’s plan for Kane?

Despite the interest from Saudi Pro League clubs and likelihood that he will remain at Bayern Munich despite the speculation, Man United’s interest has not faded.

Football Insider revealed last summer that Man United have been keeping tabs on Kane as part of a long-term plan to bring him to Old Trafford.

That plan is unlikely to change, and while they are making other plans in the meantime and are happy with the development of Benjamin Sesko, he remains a long-term target.

Should Kane decide to move on in next summer’s transfer window, Man United will be among those vying for his siganture as he remains one of the best in the world.

However, it will be put on the back burner for now after his record-breaking season for Bayern Munich, with no chance of a move in the near future.
