Tottenham boss ready to let Kane go, but outside the Premier League – report
As Real Madrid begin to make headway and approach a revolutionary summer transfer window, several high profile options are being put on the table.
Karim Benzema recently put an end to his illustrious chapter in the Spanish capital. The French sensation scored 353 goals and averaged a trophy every 27 matches during his 14 years at Real Madrid.
For someone with numbers as spectacular as Benzema, his replacement will undeniably have big boots to fill. Considering the stature of the ballon d’Or winner’s profile, Los Blancos appear heavily interested in acquiring the services of English talisman, Harry Kane.
According to Jose Felix Diaz, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is willing to let Harry Kane leave, as long as his next destination is outside of England.
Levy has traditionally been a tough negotiator and denied Manchester City from signing Harry Kane in 2021, despite the Cityzens reportedly proposing a mega offer of around €150M. Owing to Kane’s innate significance in the Spurs lineup, his exit has been difficult to come by.
However, with Madrid in dire need of a replacement and no direct rivalry with Spurs domestically, this strengthens their prospects of obtaining Kane.
While Madrid have been linked with several other attacking options such as Kai Havertz and Joselu, they have ample room to fill in their front-line as Vinicius and Rodrygo remain the only two attackers up front.
Arriving as Benzema’s replacement, Kane would potentially be able to recreate his prominence as he continues to be one of Europe’s most in-form forwards.
Despite playing for a side that struggled to dominate amidst England’s elite, the 29-year-old put up impressive numbers. Kane racked up 30 goals, only falling behind Haaland as the top scorer.
If a move to Madrid materializes, he is certain to guarantee goals. Moreover, Kane has been renowned for his playmaking prowess and ability to thrive in deeper areas of the pitch, which resemble Benzema’s abilities.

Carlos Espi reacts after scoring match-winning goal in Elche 2-3 Real Madrid: ‘Starting like this is a dream’
Carlos Espi is becoming Real Madrid’s unlikely late-game specialist.
The 21-year-old once again came off the bench to rescue Jose Mourinho’s side, this time scoring the 91st-minute winner in a dramatic 3-2 victory over Elche.
It was his second goal for the club, and both have arrived at crucial moments.
Speaking to Real Madrid TV after the match, Espi could barely contain his excitement.
“I’m so happy—the happiest man in the world. I try to help the team any way I can, and every time I step onto the field, I give it my all and come away feeling great.
“Starting like this has been a dream. This isn’t over yet; we’re going to keep going because we have Sunday’s match coming up.

“This is a team effort. All of us who take the field make the most of our opportunities and give it our all,” he began.
Espi keeps making his minutes count
There is a growing pattern to Espi’s involvement. Even though he has yet to start a match for the first team, that has not stopped him from making an impact.
His first goal arrived against Espanyol in Real Madrid’s opening game, when another late strike helped secure the result.
Against Elche, he was required again after Real Madrid surrendered a two-goal lead and suddenly found themselves in serious trouble.
Espi eventually appeared at the back post in the 91st minute and finished the move to give Mourinho’s team all three points.
The youngster shared the credit with his teammates, but he also had special praise for the player who supplied his decisive moment.
That assist came from Kylian Mbappe, whose presence has made Espi’s route into the starting XI particularly difficult.
“It’s unbelievable—it’s crazy to watch him train and play. In this case, he set me up for the goal, and I’m very happy for him, too.”
First Madrid derby already has Espi excited
The timing of Espi’s latest contribution could hardly be more interesting, as Real Madrid now face Atletico Madrid on Sunday, giving the forward an opportunity to experience his first Madrid derby.
“I’m really looking forward to it—I’m so excited. It’s my first derby here, and we’re going to go for it.”
For Mourinho, Espi is a useful option when matches become chaotic. He may not yet be a regular starter, but his two appearances on the scoresheet have carried considerably more weight than the minutes he has played.
