In the past gone week, Karim Benzema’s future at Real Madrid became uncertain following intense speculation that he has been close to signing for Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad.
However, latest reports have suggested that Benzema is now set to see out the remainder of his contract, which expires at the end of next season.
Now, Real Madrid is taking proactive steps to sign a new striker irrespective of whether Benzema stays or goes.
Rumours of Real Madrid being interested in Harry Kane was rife over the last couple of weeks, and Diario AS have now reported that the club want to sign the English international this summer, irrespective of whether Benzema remains for next season.
Kane is almost certain to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer, as he only has one year left on his current deal. With this in mind, Real Madrid could miss out on signing him if they don’t make their move this summer, and it appears that they are looking to do just that.
If Kane signs and Benzema stays, Carlo Ancelotti would have two of the best number nines in the world at his disposal. It wouldn’t be a bad problem to have, anyway pundits have concluded.
