Real Madrid keeping tabs on Tottenham Hotspur superstar – report | OneFootball

A recent report from Diario SPORT has offered an update on the list of players Real Madrid are targeting in the ongoing FIFA World Cup.

One of the players under the radar of the European champions is Harry Kane. The Tottenham Hotspur forward is, in fact, an ‘old wish’ of Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and the club are keen on securing his services.

This is because one of Real Madrid’s priorities in the market is to find a forward who can add more oomph to the goalscoring department. While Karim Benzema has been performing at the top of his game for two hours now, there are concerns that he may not continue his form for long, with age a major factor.

Benzema is likely to extend his current contract which expires at the end of the season. But Real Madrid are planning ahead for the future and want to snap up the services of a star striker, who can perform at the highest level for the years to come.

That is where Harry Kane comes into the fray. With 195 goals in 297 Premier League matches, the Englishman is known as one of the best strikers in world football right now, who has a stellar pedigree at the highest level.

Kane could thus be an excellent leader of the Real Madrid frontline, as he can not only offer goalscoring prowess but also provide creativity in the final third.

However, the report suggests Real Madrid are not on board with the idea of signing Kane for a fortune. The Englishman’s current price-tag of €90 million is considered as too high for the European champions.

Perez also knows that the presence of Daniel Levy as the chairman of Tottenham means there is no ground for negotiations, as far as the final price-tag is concerned. As such, the likelihood of Kane joining Real Madrid remains low, for the time being.
