Real Madrid ‘should pay £170m’ transfer fee for Tottenham striker Harry Kane, says legend Hugo Sanchez

REAL MADRID should fork out £170million to sign Harry Kane, claimed Hugo Sanchez.

The Los Blancos legend, 61, insisted the Spurs striker, 26, can add some much-needed firepower to Zinedine Zidane’s side.

Sanchez, who scored 208 goals in 283 appearances for the Spanish giants, urged his former club to break the bank for Kane.

During an interview with Marca, Sanchez was asked who he would advise the club to sign to solve their striker issues.

He said: “I am a firm believer that Real Madrid should have two squads and two very strong No9s, especially after Cristiano’s exit.

“There is nobody to cover for Benzema. So, to answer your question, I have been noticing Harry Kane for some time now.”

After finding out a move for Kane would cost Madrid €150m[£127.69m], Sanchez said: “I would buy him even if it cost €200m [£170.26m].

“Cristiano was also very expensive at the time and look at the results he gave.

“Knowing Florentino [Perez] and the magic he has, I am sure he could come up with something.”

Kane has scored 181 goals in 277 games in all competitions for Spurs, but has been heavily linked with a move away from the north London club.

Tim Sherwood warned his former club that they will lose the striker in 18 months if they fail to win a trophy.

Sanchez added: “Real Madrid need to have the best strikers in the world now not tomorrow and I think Kane is among the best in the world right now.

“If you spend €300m [£255m] on six or seven other players but none guarantee a goal.

“That is why I would pay €200m for a No9 like Kane. Of course.

“Nothing guarantees more and more matches than a goal.”
