The Italian striker is currently on holiday, but has only received a formal offer from Al-Qadsiah.
According to the report, the Saudi side is open to paying the clause and offering the ex-Juventus star €15m per season until 2028.
Kean, however, is unlikely to move to Saudi Arabia, especially in a season that will likely finish with the World Cup.
Manchester United are among the European clubs interested, as the Red Devils monitored Kean in many games during the latest campaign.
