Real Madrid are plotting their moves for the next season. Along with the widely-anticipated arrival of Borussia Dortmund’s wonderkid midfielder Jude Bellingham, the Spanish giants will have to bring in at least one striker.The options being considered internally are a youth prospect to learn and grow into Karim Benzema’s heir to the number nine shirt – and the other option is to bring in an established player able to replace the Frenchman. If the club’s executives go for the second option, Carlo Ancelotti wants Harry Kane.##NAJAVA_MECA_7283891##If the decision were solely on the Italian coach, he would have gone for the Tottenham’s captain already. The Englishman would fit in perfectly in Madrid and wouldn’t be daunted by the prospect of having to prove himself at the biggest club in the world.Ancelotti is a big fan of Kane because of his ability to drop behind in the midfield and create chances for his teammates, and not just play as an out-and-out striker who has a knack for scoring important goals and starring on the European stage. Even though Spurs were rarely considered a major force in continental cups, Kane has scored 38 goals in 72 appearances in the Champions League and the Europa League. To this we must add his status as chief bombardier of the English team. In March, the England captain got his 55th goal with the Three Lions shirt, beating Wayne Rooney, from whom he also recently took second place in the Premier’s all-time ranking, with 209 goals.##NAJAVA_MECA_7284487##Harry Kane is the preferred option for Ancelotti and he sees him as complementary with Benzema. What’s more, it would serve so that the Frenchman could get some rest when needed and also to challenge him by increasing the competition for places. But the type of nine that the club will sign is a matter that has not yet been decided because it is a strategic question. Madrid will not take any step that they think can compromise the potential signing of Erling Haaland in 2024.🗞️ AS’s Cover | Ancelotti prefers Kane. pic.twitter.com/rPj07b5dXK— Real Madrid Info ³⁵ (@RMadridInfo) May 27, 2023 The financial outlay in any movement for Kane is a relevant factor because Tottenham is a bone in the negotiations. Two years ago, Daniel Levy rejected 150 million from City for his captain although the footballer himself officially requested a move away. Two years later, the president of the London team still owes a moral debt to his star. Kane, in any case, is back on the market. The striker is disappointed by Tottenham’s performance this season, in which they could even miss out on European competition. They will try to sneak into the seventh place in the Premier League standings and qualify for the Conference League.Spanish radio Cadena SER reports that Real Madrid will even offer Eden Hazard as a part of the deal to convince Spurs to let Kane leave. And there is no doubt that the striker would love to test himself at a club where there are chances of him winning a trophy or two.
