Bayern Munich's Harry Kane broke a joint world record held by Erling Haaland and Cristiano Ronaldo by managing to score 100 goals for Bayern Munich in 104 games -- one less than it took the Manchester City and Real Madrid icons to reach the feat. Hours after the news broke, it has now been rumoured that the Los Blancos will try and sign the England captain from Bayern Munich in the summer.
At 32, Kane in no way fits in the age bracket that Real Madrid is focusing on as part of building a 'Galacticos' squad. However, the former Spurs forward is a superstar with no doubt who could further increase Real's brand value. However, Kane is being looked at as a short-term option in the attacking third who can give Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr some back-up when the schedule becomes packed, Spanish media reports said. If Rodrygo Goes leaves and Endrick decides to agree on a loan deal, Real Madrid will definitely need more firepower up front, the report points out. It’s best to have more options than overworking your available sources.

Harry Kane joined Bayern Munich in 2023 after Robert Lewandowski decided to leave for Barcelona. His deal with the Bundesliga champions is valid until 2027. As per reports, there is a clause in his contract, that if activated, will open doors for an exit in the winter of 2026 for a sum no less than €65 million.
Xabi Alonso is very aware of the need to rotate his attackers as part of workload management and Kane is expected to do what Joselu did for a while at the Bernabéu. However, the Englishman is on a different league altogether when compared to Joselu and will cost Real a lot more. The pressing style, quick transitions, and aerial presence that Xabi Alonso demands from his strikers are all features that Kane possesses. It was reported that Spurs was considering having their all-time top scorer back while their Premier League rivals Chelsea and Manchester United were also said to be considering bidding for the striker. However, equations would change if Real Madrid enters the race.
