Real Madrid’s current slump has the entire club worried, but according to the Daily Mail, the Spanish giant plans to spend big to return to the top. The British outlet claims that Los Blancos will break the bank to land three Premier League stars this summer.
High up on Florentino Perez’s wish list is a goalscoring machine, with the likes of Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo struggling to find the back of the net regularly. As a result, the defending Spanish champion is eyeing a world-record move for Harry Kane.
This comes as no surprise – the Englishman is the hottest striker in the world at the moment, having outscored Messi, Cavani, Cristiano, and Lewandowski in 2017. Signing the Tottenham ace will cost a lot, however, with Real Madrid preparing $283m for the 24-year-old.
Luring the Three Lions ace to the Spanish capital might prove challenging due to his affection for the north London club. Tottenham has an exciting squad with a new stadium on the way, all of which could be difficult to walk away from.
Los Blancos, though, is even entertaining the idea of hiring Mauricio Pochettino as manager in hope that the attacker will follow his boss to Madrid. Zidane is currently struggling to deliver results, giving rise to rumors that the Argentine might replace him.
Hazard is also on that three-man shortlist. Zizou is a known admirer of the Belgian ace and these links are nothing new, but Los Blancos’ need for quality additions is at a high. The Chelsea winger would also cost $283m.
David De Gea is the last name on the list, with the Bernabeu calling for a new world-class goalkeeper. The 12-time Champions League winner’s interest in the custodian is unmatched, but the Spanish heavyweight is not willing to pay more than $142m for the Roja shot-stopper. If that move fails, Thibaut Courtois will be their next target.
