Doubts over Karim Benzema's future has seen Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti urge the board to go all out for Harry Kane, a new report has claimed.
Kane is entering the last year of his deal at Tottenham and is a primary target for Erik ten Hag and Manchester United.
But with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy eager not to sell to a Premier League rival, the door could swing open for Real Madrid - particularly with Ancelotti an admirer.
The Athletic claim that Ancelotti brought up Kane in a senior management meeting on Thursday with Real Madrid 'accelerating' plans for a new No 9.
