Harry Kane has been incessantly linked with a move to Real Madrid for a century now and we are used to watching headlines of the English captain leaving London for Madrid but those speculations never seem to take place. However this season it’s different, courtesy of Karim Benzema’s departure from Real Madrid to Al Ittihad.
Real Madrid will go bonkers for Harry Kane and if they are still unable to sign him, they may opt for his Tottenham substitute Richarlison who has already expressed his likeliness to join Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
The striker is presently with Brazil’s National team and when asked about Real Madrid he said: “Real Madrid links? Of course, every player wants to wear the shirt of Real Madrid. It’s the biggest club in the world. But I have a club, a contract, I have to prove why it they bought me for a high price. But any player dreams of playing for Real Madrid.”

Richarlison came to London with hulking expectations from Everton as he was penned for a whopping £50 million last season which in all fairness has gone for nothing but a waste.
The Brazilian has performed in the most substandard manner; scoring only 1 goal in this season’s Premier League. Yes, he was sidelined by the likes of Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son, yet only 1 goal in a whole season by his standards is poor, to say the least. His performance for Brazil however has been nothing short of ordinary with the World Cup star scoring 20 goals in 42 international caps.
The Brazilian is willing and wants to stay at London to prove his mettle but should there be any interest from Madrid, he wouldn’t shy away from listening to the offer. Irrespective of him getting an offer from Spain or his compatriot Kane leaving for Real Madrid, he surely has a big season on the cards.
If Kane is to leave, Richarlison will play as the number one striker under new coach Ange Postecoglou who has been told to be interested in the Brazilian. Richarlison should not look too forward and focus on enjoying game time which he was unlucky to haven’t gotten this season.
