Real Madrid have lost another great figure of the club. Karim Benzema spent almost 14 years in the Spanish capital. Now he is moving to the League of Arab States, where he will be able to count on incredibly high earnings in Al-Ittihad. Members of the royal family are already looking for a worthy successor. One of the candidates could become the top scorer in the Premier League.
Real Madrid ended the season without a win in the Spanish Championship and the Premier League. This is seen as a bit of a disappointment among Royals fans, even though Carlo Ancelotti’s side won the Copa del Rey and finished just behind Barcelona in La Liga. The leadership of the club has a big task ahead of them. Karim Benzema had just left the club, so a gap had to be filled at Real Madrid.
Harry Kane could replace Karim Benzema
Karim Benzema can be called a Real Madrid legend. The Frenchman arrived in Madrid as a talented young player who had already gained experience in big football, playing for the Lyon Olympique. After 14 successful years (including five Champions League titles and the Ballon d’Or last year), one of the most successful players in the club’s history moves from Spain to Saudi Arabia. Local “Al-Ittihad” announced him as a new player in the team. According to media reports, the 35-year-old football player earns 200 million euros a year in the Arabian Peninsula.
Real Madrid respectfully said goodbye to the legend, but now must think about finding a worthy successor. Despite having the talented Vinicius on the roster, the Royals need an extra strongman. As with the big clubs, the market for potential candidates quickly flared up. Marca reports that the club from the Spanish capital wants Harry Kane to stay at home. The Tottenham Hotspur player regularly scores more than a dozen goals in a season for his club, which will not play in any of the European competition next season. The English striker’s contract runs until June 2024, which means it will be cheaper than usual to sign him.
Career of Harry Kane
According to Marka journalists, the possible purchase price of a 29-year-old man fluctuates around 80 million euros. If the deal had taken place, the Englishman would have performed abroad for the first time. Kane has been playing at Tottenham since 2009 (with breaks on loan). During this period, he played 435 matches, scoring 280 goals.
