Carlo Ancelotti has let the Real Madrid hierarchy know who his number one striker target is this summer: Tottenham’s Harry Kane.
After receiving confirmation from the Real Madrid board that he has their full backing to stay on as manager, Ancelotti has revealed that he wants Spurs’ talismanic frontman Kane to lead the line for him next season. He informed the Madrid hierarchy at a key transfers meeting, according to The Athletic. Also on the agenda was Jude Bellingham’s potential signing from Borussia Dortmund, and Karim Benzema’s possible move to Saudi Arabia.
Real Madrid won’t be the only club eyeing up Kane, as the England captain reaches the end of his six-year contract at Spurs. Given that his current deal runs out next summer, you’d expect this window to be Tottenham’s last real chance to cash in on their star man, and there aren’t many clubs better placed to make a move for Kane than Madrid. It’s said that Ancelotti was told the board would try to make the transfer happen, although Spurs have absolutely no desire to sell Kane.
