Real Madrid may have cooled their interest in Harry Kane as they may not find investing large sums in the England captain viable.
According to AS via Sport Witness, Real Madrid may cease their pursuit of Harry Kane due to Tottenham’s huge financial demands. Carlo Ancelotti continues to like the idea of signing the 32-goal Premier League striker, but from a business perspective, a deal may seem expensive.
Harry Kane’s future continues to rumble on as there’s still a decision on the striker’s hands regarding his future. With a year left on his contract and Tottenham reluctant to sell, some have suggested the England captain may stay put and then decide later.
Those can have mixed meanings, including leaving on a free transfer in 2024 or accepting new terms at Tottenham. Daniel Levy seems adamant about allowing Kane to depart at all costs. Moreover, Spurs value the 32-goal Premier League striker at nearly €116 million, which may price out most suitors.
Having made thorough enquiries, Manchester United have reportedly cooled their interest. The price tag and Levy’s determination to keep Kane are considered the main reasons behind ceasing the pursuit. The Red Devils might focus their attention towards other targets.
However, one team that refuses to give up on the chase until now are Real Madrid. The departure of Karim Benzema has opened the doors for a new striker, with the Spanish giants desperate to land Kane. Despite reports claiming Real Madrid were close to signing him, the race has further complications.
Kane is also keen to sign for Real Madrid, and the striker is ready to give up on his dream of catching Alan Shearer’s Premier League record. The idea of winning honours has taken precedence at this stage of the striker’s career.
Carlo Ancelotti remains keen to sign Kane but may have to side with his club on their latest stance. Real Madrid do not feel the viability of spending €116 million on a striker with a year left on his contract. Moreover, the 32-goal Premier League striker’s age also represents a new problem.
Real Madrid feel the investment may not bear results and remain wary of the mistakes made with Eden Hazard. Hence, they are reportedly ready to cool their interest in the 32-goal Premier League striker and move on towards other targets.

Kai Havertz was also on their list, but similarly, the Spanish giants are unwilling to pay the high price Chelsea might demand. For now, the report claims Kane may not feature on their shortlist, but there’s a feeling they will keep trying and possibly look to negotiate the price down.
