Real Madrid might soon offer £100 million to sign free-scoring Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane, a target for Manchester United.
According to a report by Daily Mirror, Harry Kane is the preferred target to replace Karim Benzema at Real Madrid. And the Merengues are ready to shell out £100 million to sign the free-scoring striker. The Tottenham Hotspur talisman is also a target for Manchester United heading into the summer transfer window.
Harry Kane has been a hot property in the transfer market for several years. And despite flirting with a big-money move a few times, he has remained loyal to Tottenham Hotspur. However, with the North London club failing to show the ambition to become a trophy-winning juggernaut, the English international is considering his options this summer.
Kane was the sole bright spot in a miserable season for Tottenham, amassing 32 goals and five assists in 49 appearances across all competitions. But with a year remaining on his contract, the 29-year-old might leave Tottenham this summer. And Real Madrid and Manchester United are ready to launch the offensive.
The upcoming summer transfer window will herald a transitional period for Real Madrid. In particular, Los Blancos will enter the market for multiple attacking reinforcements. And Karim Benzema’s shock departure will compel Real Madrid to pursue a top-class striker. Kane has thus emerged as the priority target for them.
The latest report adds that the Merengues are ready to splash the big bucks to land the 29-year-old, contrary to earlier suggestions. And Real Madrid will happily shell out £100 million to secure Kane’s services this summer. But the Spanish giants face stiff competition from Manchester United for the Englishman.
Like Real Madrid, Manchester United might not have any qualms about paying £100 million to sign Kane. But Tottenham will prefer to sell the English international to a foreign club. That said, the free-scoring striker has Alan Shearer’s Premier League record in sight. And recent reports have claimed that he is keen on joining Manchester United.
So the race to secure Kane’s services this summer is in the balance. And it will be interesting to see if the 29-year-old is ready to forego the chance to break Shearer’s record by joining Real Madrid. Manchester United will be waiting with bated breaths to see the free-scoring striker’s decision.
£100 million? They have dealt with Levy before when they bought both Modric and Bale, so they had better be prepared to pay a lot more than that!
