Real Madrid: 5 alternate signings to Kylian Mbappe in summer 2021

2. Harry Kane

Harry Kane is the latest player to be linked with Los Blancos. His market value per Transfermarkt is just over 100 million and with his wages combined, he’d still theoretically be a cheaper investment compared to Mbappe. Kane has been kept as a backup in case a Mbappe move doesn’t happen this summer.

The 27-year-old is arguably one of the most talented and effective forwards in the Premier League. His current deal with Spurs does not expire until 2024 but this might just be a good time for him to make his move to Spain. With Bale looming on a possible Real Madrid return, the Englishman may think of benefiting out of his current partnership with the Welshman.

Real Madrid is known to have superstars in their squad. But right now, Karim Benzema seems like the only one in their attack. Harry Kane could be the next one to pass on the baton to, for Benzema. At 33 years of age and a style of play that gives you 20 goals and 10 assists, the Frenchman would be more than happy if an established player like Kane is there to help him out.

The Bale angle could further impact this transfer. With Mourinho’s soft corner for the Welshman, a swap deal between the two players could still be a possibility or as previously stated, the two may play at the Bernabeu together.
