Real Madrid might offer Ferland Mendy in a part-exchange deal to sign Harry Kane, a target for Manchester United, this summer.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Cadena SER, Harry Kane is the top target to replace Karim Benzema at Real Madrid. And the Merengues are ready to offer 27-year-old French defender Ferland Mendy in the deal to land Kane. The Tottenham striker is also a target for Manchester United.
Harry Kane has been one of the best players in the world for the better part of the last half a dozen years, if not longer. A talismanic figure for his club and country, the English international often scores goals for fun. And he has been a phenomenal performer for Tottenham despite the North London club’s struggles this season.
The 29-year-old has an excellent tally of 32 goals and five assists in 49 appearances across all competitions this term. But Kane has a little over a year left on his Tottenham contract. And with the player considering a summer departure, the situation has captured the attention of Real Madrid and Manchester United.
Real Madrid might have to delve into the market for a world-class striker in the summer transfer window. That is because Karim Benzema faces an uncertain future at the Santiago Bernabeu. And recent reports have claimed that the Real Madrid captain will likely move to Saudi Arabia in the coming weeks.
Benzema’s departure will leave a gaping hole in the Real Madrid attack. And Kane has emerged as a top target for Carlo Ancelotti. Meanwhile, the Merengues are ready to offer Ferland Mendy in the deal to sign the 29-year-old striker. Such a sweetener might be a masterstroke, considering the 27-year-old is a target for Tottenham.
But Real Madrid might have an uphill task pursuing Kane due to claims from recent reports. The suggestions have pointed to the Tottenham talisman desiring a Manchester United move. And the Red Devils are also keen on signing a world-class striker, with Anthony Martial’s days seemingly numbered. So Manchester United might be in the pole position to land the Englishman.
It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid can turn Kane’s head with an approach. But with Alan Shearer’s record in his sight, the 29-year-old might prefer to join Manchester United. However, submitting a part-exchange deal to Tottenham might be a decent trick up Real Madrid’s sleeve.
