Real Madrid rule out bid for Harry Kane

Real Madrid have all but ruled out a transfer move for Tottenham star Harry Kane, despite having been linked with a deal by the Spanish press. Harry Kane has been in exceptional form for both club and country in recent seasons.

There had been reports today that Real Madrid are weighing up a 250 million euro bid for the striker, but this has now been denied by the club.

With Real rumoured to be seeking a replacement for striker Karim Benzema, Harry Kane has emerged as a top target for the La Liga champions.

"Signing Harry Kane has not passed through my head. He is a great player and in addition he is young," Real Madrid chairman Florentino Perez told Cadena COPE.

"He has many years to progress, but we are delighted with [Karim] Benzema and with all of the team.

"I didn’t ask Tottenham’s president for the price because he would have told me that he is worth €250m."

Harry Kane is expected to sign a new deal with Spurs in the coming months.
