Carlo Ancelotti ‘makes Harry Kane his No1 transfer target at Real Madrid as Spurs scramble to stop star joining Man Utd’
CARLO ANCELOTTI has reportedly made Harry Kane his top target for this summer's transfer window.
The under-pressure Real Madrid manager, 63, is looking to bolster his frontline and add competition for star striker Karim Benzema.
Los Blancos fell away in the La Liga title race and were thrashed by Manchester City in the Champions League during a surprisingly underwhelming season.
As a result the Spanish giants are looking to strengthen ahead of next season, with a deal for Jude Bellingham almost wrapped up.
The Italian boss likes Kane, 29, due to his style of movement and his experience, according to Diario AS.
The report states that the England international is viewed as the "ideal" replacement and complement to Benzema.
