Real Madrid are plotting a move to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham this summer after they confirmed Karim Benzema’s exit.
Real are said to be considering a swoop to sign Kane from Spurs, although they are aware they will face significant obstacles, such as the England captain’s desire to break Alan Shearer’s Premier League goal record.
The Independent claims that Real Madrid wanted to keep Benzema for another season before making a major play to sign either Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland in 2024, but the Frenchman’s departure has seen them switch focus to Kane.
Also, the Spanish club are letting Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio leave, meaning they have a budget approaching £200 million (€232m/$249m).
Even though the striker only has a year left on his contract, Kane would attract a substantial fee, and chairman Daniel Levy is likely to seek a sum that would nearly wipe out that figure.

Even though Spurs finished ninth, Kane had an outstanding season and won’t play in Europe in 2023–24.
In 38 appearances, he scored 30 league goals, placing second to Haaland in the hunt for the Golden Boot.
