Real Madrid awaits Harry Kane with open arms: "He would fit perfectly"

The departure of Karim Benzema has focused Real Madrid on finding a new striker for the 2023-24 season. There are several names on the table, but the chosen one by the board is Harry Kane, Tottenham's top scorer. While both teams are trying to reach an agreement, Nacho Fernández, captain of the 'white' team, spoke about the possible arrival of the attacker, and highlighted that he would "fit perfectly" in Carlo Ancelotti's team.

‘Nachito’, who recently assured that he will stay one more year in the 'Casa Blanca', analyzed the team's current situation and gave his opinion on some names that are on the board's radar, including the English forward. He emphasized that the British player would be of great help to Real Madrid.

“Harry Kane would fit perfectly this summer and Mbappé would come the following one,” pointed out the Madrid captain in an interview with the newspaper Marca. “We have lost important players like Karim and we need goals for the next season,” added the five-time Champions League winner.

The departure of 'Gato', who scored 31 goals and provided 6 assists in the last season, leaves an unparalleled legacy after giving Madridismo 25 titles and 345 goals in total. Fans and the board have a preference for Kylian Mbappé or Erling Haaland, but both are almost impossible in this transfer market.

How is the Kane operation going?

Fabrizio Romano, a journalist specialized in the transfer market, stated that Real Madrid is working hard to secure the signing of Harry Kane, but the operation will not be easy because the president of the English club, Daniel Levy, wants to keep him. The agreement may take a good part of the summer.

According to Cadena Ser, Florentino Pérez set a limit of 80 million euros and would include another player to reach the 100 million requested: Ferland Mendy. Real Madrid urgently needs a top striker, but is not willing to pay more than 100 million for a 29-year-old player.
