Real Madrid have reportedly identified Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur and Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund as their top transfer targets for next summer..
In the most recent transfer window, the Spanish and European champions only signed two new players, bringing in Antonio Rudiger and Aurelien Tchouameni from Chelsea and Monaco, respectively.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has already ruled out any new signings in the January transfer window, as the club looks ahead to the summer of 2023.
Real Madrid may prioritize midfield next year, with both Luka Modric and Toni Kroos set to become free agents in less than a year..
Karim Benzema continues to lead Ancelotti’s side up front, but the Ballon d’Or winner will turn 35 next month, and Real are preparing for life without him.
According to Sport, Kane and Bellingham top Real Madrid’s seven-man transfer wishlist, and both England players are being closely watched at the World Cup.
Last summer, Kane tried and failed to leave Antonio Conte’s side, with Manchester United and Manchester City both interested in signing him in 2021.
However, because Daniel Levy refused to entertain offers for the England captain, he stayed in North London to help Tottenham to fourth place and a place in the Champions League..
Kane has yet to extend his Spurs contract beyond the summer of 2024, but there is growing optimism about the club’s chances of agreeing on a new deal with the 29-year-old, who is still looking for his first major club trophy.
The striker has been the subject of public interest from Bayern Munich in recent months, and Kane is unlikely to return to Tottenham until after the World Cup.
According to the report, Levy would now demand a €90 million (£77.8 million) fee to part ways with Kane, but Real would refuse to pay that sum..
Meanwhile, Bellingham is widely expected to leave Dortmund in the summer of 2023, and the 19-year-old will almost certainly be at the center of a battle between several major clubs.
Bellingham has thrived at the Westfalenstadion since leaving Birmingham City in 2020, and the Black and Yellows are said to be willing to pay £130 million to sanction a sale.
With Manchester United and Chelsea reportedly withdrawing from the race to sign Bellingham, Liverpool could be Real Madrid’s main rivals for the England international.
Real, on the other hand, appears to have an early advantage in the race for Bellingham’s services, with the teenager said to be set on a move to the Bernabeu..
Along with Kane and Bellingham, Real Madrid are said to be interested in Youri Tielemans, Enzo Fernandez, Youssoufa Moukoko, Alphonso Davies, and Stanislav Lobotka..
