On Wednesday, Marca reported Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane has given his approval to join Real Madrid.
It was also stated Carlo Ancelotti has identified him as the ideal candidate to replace Karim Benzema.
There’s been a sudden change of stance from Los Blancos if a report from today’s AS is to be believed. It’s claimed Real Madrid have cooled their interest in the Tottenham star.
The 29-year-old has a year left on his deal and AS say he is valued at €116m by Spurs chief Daniel Levy. Taking his age into account [will turn 30 on July 28th], there’s ‘no way to amortise’ his transfer if he’s going to cost over €100m.
In addition to this, the England international earns €20m gross per season. These factors make it ‘unfeasible’ for the La Liga side to sign him.
Therefore, it’s not good business, from an economic and sporting point of view, for Real Madrid to sign him.
Despite Ancelotti’s desire to sign Kane, the report states he’s ‘no longer on the shortlist’ due to the aforementioned reasons.
