Tottenham is preparing for a crucial Premier League game on Sunday. Pochettino’s side travels to Liverpool in a top-six clash, but fans could be more worried about the future of star attacker Harry Kane.
The Englishman has been linked with a north London exit, with Real Madrid being the biggest admirer of the 24-year-old. Los Blancos has struggled for goals this season and has the wealth to finance this transfer.
And according to Mundo Deportivo, Spurs could be open to doing business. Club chairman Daniel Levy is the one reportedly willing to sell their goalscoring machine but under two conditions.
The first is a given: Tottenham wants a hefty fee for the Three Lions ace. Levy will give the move the green light for around $249m.
Another thing that the club’s chairman wants is a quick deal. The London side does not want a transfer saga similar to the one that saw Luka Modric leave White Hart Lane for the Bernabeu. The Premier League side wants business to be wrapped up quickly so they can quickly reinvest in their squad.
Replacing Kane won’t be easy, but turning down a $249m offer could also be hard to resist. Real Madrid needs a striker, as Benzema has been poor this term, meaning the Champions League holder might not hesitate to meet Spurs’ asking price.
The Englishman might be interested in joining Los Merengues, but his immediate focus is Sunday’s game. Victory at Anfield would mean either keeping up the pace with fourth-placed Chelsea or leapfrogging the Blues if Conte’s crew fails to beat Watford.
