The rumor mill surrounding star striker Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur continues to simmer. The top scorer has been associated with FC Bayern in particular for months, and there are always new water level reports on the reported interest of Munich. Now another top club from Europe should position itself.
According to a report in the English “Daily Mail”, the reigning Champions League winner Real Madrid should also closely monitor the situation of the 29-year-old at Spurs.
Kane’s contract with the Londoners runs until 2024, and there has not yet been an agreement on an early extension of the contract. For Tottenham, expanding the working paper with their star player and captain should remain a top priority. So far, however, there has not been a breakthrough.
According to the media report, Real Madrid club officials should consider presenting Harry Kane as a successor to Karim Benzema. The winner of the Ballon d’Or is now 35 years old and his legacy in the ninth position with the Madrilenians has long been discussed.
Reunion with Pochettino at Real Madrid?
In addition to FC Bayern and Real Madrid, England’s record champions Manchester United are said to have targeted the center forward. However, if Kane separates this summer, Spurs boss Daniel Levy should clearly prefer a sale to other European countries so as not to strengthen a direct competitor in the Premier League with his currently best player.
According to the information in the newspaper, a lot will depend on how Carlo Ancelotti continues as Real head coach. Madrid are currently nine points behind FC Barcelona in second place in LaLiga, on Sunday evening (from 9:00 p.m.) the Clásico is coming up.
Should there be a separation from Ancelotti in the summer, Mauricio Pochettino is considered one of the hottest successor candidates. The Argentine had already worked very successfully with Harry Kane at Tottenham between 2014 and 2019. Under Pochettino, Kane had risen to become a world-class striker and leading player.
