Harry Kane tops Real Madrid’s wanted list as they look for a replacement for Karim Benzema.
Kane, 29, has a year left on his Tottenham contract and is undecided on his future.
The 14-time European champions Real are huge admirers of England’s record goalscorer Kane and are hopeful the exit of several of their high earners this summer can help their bid.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy wants to keep Kane at his boyhood club, though, and is understood to be wanting in excess of £100m, a price tag Real would be reluctant to pay.
Kane has scored 280 goals in 435 appearances for Spurs and is 47 goals shy of Alan Shearer’s Premier League goalscoring record of 260.
They have kept hold of him before, two summers ago when he tried to make a move to Manchester City.
But with Spurs unable to deliver Champions League football next season and Kane yet to win a major trophy, the forward’s future in north London remains unclear and Real will hope a desire for major trophies will attract him to a move to Spain.
