Harry Kane moves to replace Benzema at Real Madrid
Real Madrid president, Florentino Perez, has settled for Harry Kane to replace striker Karim Benzema at Santiago Bernabeu.
Benzema sealed a move to Al-Ittihad earlier this month, leaving Real Madrid without a trusted number 9.
Marco Asensio, often Benzema’s makeshift backup, is also set to leave Real Madrid as a free agent.
According to El Nacional, Real Madrid earmarked two strikers – Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Chelsea’s Kai Havertz.
Perez and Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti apparently preferred Kane over Havertz.
Kane’s signing is reportedly hard to pull off because of Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy. He views Real Madrid’s interest in Havertz as a tactic to lower the England captain’s price tag.
