La Liga champions Real Madrid are weighing up signing 29-year-old English international Harry Kane from Tottenham next summer.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Harry Kane is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. Los Blancos will launch the offensive for the 29-year-old Tottenham Hotspur striker in the 2023 summer transfer window if Karim Benzema’s fitness woes continue next year.
Harry Kane has established a lasting legacy in the Premier League as he will go down as one of the best strikers in the competition’s history. The English international is on the cusp of becoming the all-time top goalscorer for Tottenham and the Three Lions, needing less than ten goals to break both records.
The 29-year-old is enjoying a solid 2022/23 season, amassing 13 goals and three assists in 22 appearances. And Kane is currently in Qatar to represent England at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. In the meantime, Tottenham will be looking to tie him to a new contract. And his situation has captured the attention of Real Madrid.
The reigning La Liga champions do not want to sign a striker in the 2023 summer transfer window. And Real Madrid’s plan is to secure the services of Erling Haaland in 2024, when a release clause in his contract activates. But Karim Benzema’s lingering fitness issues might alter Los Blancos’ objectives.
The Real Madrid captain has endured a frustrating 2022/23 season, with injuries plaguing him in the last two months. Benzema is also out of the 2022 FIFA World Cup due to these issues. And if the frustrations continue, Real Madrid might have to take a tough call to bring in a top-class alternative for the Frenchman next summer.
Kane has thus emerged as a viable target, with the 29-year-old English international at the peak of his powers. And with recent reports suggesting that the experienced striker is putting off contract talks with Tottenham, Real Madrid might fancy the prospects of securing his services.
But the north Londoners are reportedly confident of tying Kane to a new contract. And with Daniel Levy being a tough negotiator, Real Madrid might have an uphill task of bringing the 29-year-old English international to the Santiago Bernabeu.
