In the wonderful world of Don Balon transfer rumours, Saturday sees them rollback on Harry Kane to Real Madrid.
After insisting the deal was on the cards and Florentino Perez was already working out he’d give the Tottenham player a €1bn release clause, Don Balon have dreamed up a problem.
That problem is Cristiano Ronaldo, who doesn’t really want the Tottenham player signing.
Ronaldo is a big fan of Karim Benzema and feels the Frenchman is important to the club both on and off the pitch, and would instead prefer a replacement for Gareth Bale to be signed in the summer.
Kane arriving at Real Madrid would make Ronaldo feel ‘uncomfortable’ and he’s not going to be a big backer of the plan, which could have some impact on Perez’s thinking.
So Don Balon have in two days talked the transfer into being a sure thing on the cards, and then explained a big reason it may not happen. At least they’re keeping all their options open.
