Once Real Madrid President Florentino Perez sets his mind to something, it seems more often than not he gets what he wants. A powerful contruction magnate, he is used to getting his way.
It is a trait he has transferred to football, and Real Madrid can often be seen seducing the most glamorous stars in the game. Could the next one be Harry Kane?
Los Blancos are focused on signing Jude Bellingham this summer, but once the game is up for the Englishman one way or another, there will still be questions to be answered in the Real Madrid frontline.
Karim Benzema has been extended for a further year, but his form and injury issues this season have left them short of ruthless goalscorer at times. The Frenchman is now 35 years of age, and many have called on the club to bring in at least an alternative on the bench.
According to La Portera de Nunez, Kane is the latest fancy that Perez has taken. Regardless of Benzema’s future, Perez is keen on him. The 29-year-old forward is out of contract in 2024, meaning this is the final season that Spurs can hope to make money on him.
Kane has not been alien to fitness issues himself, but given he is six years Benzema’s junior, it should at least lessen fears.
There is little questioning his ability. This season he has 22 goals and 4 assists in 38 games this season. Kane has been the standout at Tottenham for a number of years, proving his pedigree repeatedly. Not many forwards could hold a candle to Benzema’s quality or achievements, but Kane might be one of the few that Real Madrid fans would feel confident about replacing Benzema.
The likes of Bayern Munich and Manchester United have also been linked to Kane, and there will be plenty of competition for his signature. Should he age as well as Benzema, he would have at least five more years at the top level of competition, providing his fitness holds up.
Whether it would be worth shelling out a major fee for Kane this summer is a different argument. Los Blancos have pursued a number of veteran stars on free transfers too, and it would be no surprise to see them try and persuade Kane to join them for free in 2024, with Benzema another years older.
It would likely be a decent transition in terms of style too. While perhaps Benzema has more ‘genius’ touches in his repertoire at this point, Kane can also drop deeper and orchestrate attacks. which has been one of Benzema’s best qualities over the years.
While perhaps it isn’t the conventional wisdom on whom Real Madrid should pursue to replace Benzema, some suggesting the likes of Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe, Kane does not profile as a bad alternative should those options not be available.

Bro they lack talents you can see those stupid lloris blunders that alone can weak team moral
thats all true. I'm talking about Kane here. There's lots of instance where a team doesn't play well but their "star man" does. Mbappe in the final, Lewandowski against real Madrid when he was in Dortmund, Suarez against Bayern etc etc. Face it, in every big game spurs/England have lost Harry Kane has been as bad as his teammates

He will be a perfect replacement for Benz at least for some years . Enrick will also be joining us in 2024.

Sure Kane will be better because he have not won any important trophy 🏆 in his career so if Madrid is to buy him he will put his all cause he knows that make a trophy in Madrid is very easy 🤔Go Kane Hala Madrid

when was the last time Harry Kane played good in a big game? Right, never. Kane is a brilliant player and the kind of striker i like who's good with the ball and excellent passing technique, but please don't compare him with Benzema

consider the age bro. Tottenham would not let him go for less than 70 million. Would it not be smart to use that 70 mil for another striker like a sesko/ julian Alvarez?
70 million for Harry Kane Would be a steal. And it won’t even be that cheap. Alvarez just signed a new Contract with city, if you want to buy him now, you’d pay a ridiculous amount, not that they’d sell. With Kane Madrid won’t have to adapt to another striker styles he’s just like benzema. And he plays for Spurs imagine how well he would do for Real Madrid.

Kane doesn't have the speed to counter the way Madrid does but anywhere around the box his better than Big Benz, what he lacks at spurs is the kind of players Madrid has that can feed well like Kane can score u 4 goals per match any day.

Correction: Benzema got the chance to display his complete package of quality after Cr7 left. And don't compare the two, they both play in different clubs with different tactics and coaches. Kane in a Bayern shirt would be deadly frfr, something we can agree on.🤝🏽

On a 50/50 level Harry Kane is way better than Benzema if you compare the talent around them in each team he would always deliver ,been consistent for 7 to 8 years now big Benz get better when Ronaldo left big difference 💯 If he plays for Bayern he would conquer the world 🌎 ucl🏆

Harry Kane is an excellent striker, one of the best today. I would love to see him find a escape from Tottenham too, that team is crap.😴 He is basically Benzema 2.0 in terms of his playing style. If the decision was up to me I wouldn't sign him though, he's already 29 years old. There's soooooo many young strikers in the market that are already making a name for themselves. He would look good in a Man City shirt tho💯
