Real Madrid targets Harry Kane as Karim Benzema’s replacement for 2023-24 season

the departure of Karim Benzema has made the Real Madrid focus on getting a new striker for the 2023-24 season. There are several names on the table, but the one chosen by the board is Harry Kane, Tottenham goalscorer. While both teams are trying to come to an agreement, Nacho Fernandezcaptain of the ‘white’ team, spoke about the possible arrival of an attacker, and stressed that “would fit perfectly” in Carlo Ancelotti’s team.

‘Nachito’, who recently assured that he will remain in the ‘White House’ for another year, analyzed the team’s current situation and gave his opinion on some names that are on the board’s radar, including the forward of the English team. The Spaniard stressed that the Briton would be of great help to Real Madrid.

“Harry Kane would fit perfectly this summer and Mbappé would come the next”, pointed out the Madrid captain in an interview with the newspaper Brand. “Important players like Karim have left us and we need goals for next season”, added the five-time Champions League winner.

The departure of ‘Gato’, who scored 31 goals and provided 6 assists last season, leaves behind an incomparable legacy after giving Real Madrid 25 titles and 345 goals in total. The fans and the board have a preference for Kylian Mbappé or Erling Haaland, but both are almost impossible in this transfer market.

How’s the operation for Kane going?

Fabrizio Romano, a journalist specializing in the transfer market, pointed out that Real Madrid is working hard to secure the signing of Harry Kane, but the operation will not be easy because the president of the English club, Daniel Levy, wants to keep him. The agreement may take a good part of the summer.

According to Chain Being, Florentino Pérez put a figure of 80 million euros as a ceiling and would include one more player to reach the 100 million they ask for: Ferland Mendy. Real Madrid urgently needs a top striker, but they are not willing to pay more than 100 million euros for a 29-year-old player.
