The reason why Real Madrid ruled out Harry Kane as a replacement for Benzema has been revealed

Real Madrid faces a significant challenge following the departure of Karim Benzema, who left a significant legacy at the Merengue club. For over a decade, the French striker has shown consistent growth, culminating in winning the Ballon d'Or in the 2021/22 season. It is for this reason that the urgency now lies in finding a suitable replacement.

Until two weeks ago, the name under consideration was Harry Kane. The English forward expressed his desire to leave Tottenham in search of titles, and for Carlo Ancelotti, he was the ideal candidate to fill Karim's shoes. However, in the past few hours, according to reports from Relevo, his arrival has been completely ruled out due to a change in priorities.

The decision to discard Kane is based on three main reasons. Firstly, his price exceeds 100 million EUR, which, combined with his age, becomes a factor. Approaching 30 years old in just 40 days, his market value does not justify the investment in relation to the remaining years of high performance.

On the other hand, the fact that Kylian Mbappé will not continue at Paris Saint-Germain beyond 2024 has led Real Madrid to consider saving the money to secure the arrival of the talented Frenchman in the near future.

They seek to be strategic

Real Madrid is in a restructuring phase and is looking for strategic options to strengthen its squad. Benzema's departure has left a difficult void to fill, but the board and coaching staff are working hard to find the right player who can assume his role and maintain the legacy of success at the club.
