Real Madrid began the summer transfer window in a desperate search for a new No. 9. The club wished to sign an established name to replace Karim Benzema and contacted several players over a move.
One of theMerengues’top options was Harry Kane. The English superstar was open to a move toReal Madrid, having entered the final year of his contract at Tottenham.
Los Blancossubsequently distanced themselves from all targets for the number nine position after learning of Kylian Mbappe’s availability. The focus shifted onto the Frenchman, although nothing concrete has come of it yet.
According to ɾєρօɾτs fromFabrizio Romano, Kane is now on his way to completing a move to Bayern Munich.
The German side have reached an agreement in principle with Tottenham Hotspur over the striker’s transfer and will pay over €100 million for his services.
The final decision now lies in Kane’s hands. If the player accepts the proposal from Germany, his move will be completed.
Carlo Ancelotti’s request
Florentino Perez promised Ancelotti solid reinforcements to the forward line ahead of the summer transfer window. The Italian tactician dreamt of Kane’s arrival and saw him as a perfect fit for his ρłɑɴs.
ɾєρօɾτs as early as last week ɾєⱱєɑłєԀ that the administrationshot down Ancelotti’s demand for a new striker. They see a large investment in a forward to be futile considering Mbappe’s imminent arrival.
A top-notch striker who has been scoring for fun for several years now, Kane would have been an iԀєɑł replacement for Benzema. ButReal Madridopted against going after him despite Ancelotti’s request and will now have to see him join Bayern while they still wait for Mbappe.
All eyes on Mbappe
Real Madrid’s pre-season campaignreflected their needfor a lethal finisher.Los Blancoscame up short against both Juventus and Barcelona purely because of their inability to tuck away chances.
Mbappe would be an iԀєɑł reinforcement on that front. However, not much is known about his situation as the player has remained silent thɾօυɢҺ the summer.
If the Frenchmanarrives this month,Real Madridwill be close to unstoppable. Else, Ancelotti will have a difficult time finding sources for goals next season.
