Spanish media reports have emerged suggesting that Tottenham Hotspur will only entertain offers for their star striker Harry Kane if they receive a fee of £100 million (approximately €115 million). The news has sparked speculation of a potential move to Real Madrid, as the English captain is seen as a strong candidate to replace Karim Benzema at the Spanish club.
AS, a Spanish publication, has claimed that Tottenham is open to selling Kane but only to foreign clubs. Real Madrid would have to vie with Bayern Munich, who are also in the market for a top-class striker. According to Spanish media, Kane is keen on leaving Tottenham after a trophyless season and has expressed his desire to play in the UEFA Champions League next season.
Kane's appeal extends beyond his goal-scoring prowess, as he also excels in his ability to create opportunities. If Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti aims to build a team around the young duo of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, Kane is viewed as the perfect addition.
"Kane, at the perfect age (born in 1993), has shown consistent form and can perform at the highest level for many more years. Coach Carlo Ancelotti has closely observed Kane's recent performances in the Premier League and admires the influence he exerts on Tottenham's attack," noted AS.
Nevertheless, the potential signing of Kane could impact Real Madrid's future plans. In the summer of 2024, the club has set its sights on recruiting either Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland. Kane may be hesitant to accept a role on the bench if either of these sought-after stars arrives at the Bernabeu.
With the potential departure of Karim Benzema looming this week, Real Madrid needs to expedite their search for a new number 9 for the 2023/24 season. Alongside Kane, "Los Blancos" have reportedly shown interest in Joselu from Espanyol and Roberto Firmino, who recently finished his contract with Liverpool. The coming weeks will shed light on Real Madrid's transfer strategy as they aim to strengthen their squad for the upcoming campaign.
