Real Madrid have two of the world’s brightest prospects on their wings. Vinicius Jr has already made his name as one of the generation’s best talents on the left wing while Rodrygo Goes is not far from doing the same on the other flank.
However, the duo no longer have a central striker to complement them for the season to come. With both Karim Benzema and Mariano Diaz no longer in the squad, thereMerengueshave no options left to fill the number nine vacancy.
Harry Kane has quickly emerged asReal Madridand Carlo Ancelotti’s favourite option to fill the void. However, ɾєρօɾτs earlier in the week claimed that Tottenham Hotspurs manager Daniel Levy wished to keep the striker in London and evenquoted a €115 million price tag.
According to ɾєρօɾτs fromMARCA,Los Blancosare preparing an opening offer worth €80 million for the English striker. Needless to say, the bid is not too far off from the Premier League side’s asking price.
Negotiations are expected to progress swiftly in the coming week. Given that not too much separates the two parties, one can expect Florentino Perez to come up withcreative ways to bridge the gap.
Despite the relatively steep price tag,Real Madridare in an advantageous position for two ɾєɑȿօɴs.
For starters, Kane wishes to represent the club’s crest and ɾєρօɾτs even claim it is the only team for which he would leave the Premier League. Secondly, Daniel Levy does not wish to sell the player to direct competition in the Premier League, indirectly favouring theMerengues.
The 29-year-old has been Tottenham’s centre-piece since 2013 and has racked up goals for fun year after year. In the recently concluded season of the Premier League, he scored 30 goals and provided three assists in 38 appearances in addition to creating 14 big chances.
