      Los Blancos fell away in the La Liga title race and were thrashed by Manchester City in the Champions League during a surprisingly underwhelming season.
      As a result the Spanish giants are looking to strengthen ahead of next season, with a deal for Jude Bellingham almost wrapped up.
      The Italian boss likes Kane, 29, due to his style of movement and his experience, according to Diario AS.
      The report states that the England international is viewed as the “ideal” replacement and complement to Benzema.

      Spurs are on the edge of failing to qualify for a European competition after another trophyless season.
      Kane has been tipped for a move away from the club, with Manchester United suggested as his most likely destination.
      However, Tottenham would prefer to sell Kane to a foreign club to avoid strengthening one of their rivals.

      Spurs are thought to have actively sought out Real Madrid to avoid having to face Kane in the Premier League next season.
      Kane has been linked to the club before but has stayed put in North London since emerging from Spurs’ youth academy in 2014.
      Despite failing to win any major trophies with the club, Kane has established himself as one of best strikers in the world.
      Kane has excelled this season, having netted 30 goals in all competitions. More

      ‘SIX strikers on Man Utd’s transfer shortlist’ if they can’t get Kane after joke they’d have to ‘KILL’ Levy to sign him

      Man Utd want to land him, with manager Erik ten Hag said to be “obsessed” with Kane.
      However, Spurs will not be an easy club to negotiate with, owing to chairman Daniel Levy.
      According to the Manchester Evening News, one source who has worked with Levy joked United would need to “kill him” in order to land Kane.
      But after securing Champions League football after a 4-1 win over Chelsea, the Red Devils are reluctant to be drawn into a prolonged saga to land the 30-goal star.

      Instead, they will turn towards a shortlist of six frontmen if Kane proves to be unattainable.
      MEN’s report states Napoli ace Victor Osimhen is top of this list.
      The Nigerian’s 23 league goals fired Napoli to their first Serie A title since 1990.
      However, a £130million price tag could prove to be too hefty a fee for the Red Devils’ liking.

      Keeping in the Italian top flight, United are said to be keeping tabs on 20-year-old Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund, who has eight league goals from 18 starts this season.
      Eintracht Frankfurt’s Randal Kolo Muani is another star on their radar.
      The 24-year-old scored in the World Cup semi-final in Qatar, and has enjoyed a strong season in the Bundesliga, netting 14 goals and adding 13 assists.
      Ten Hag is also said to be an admirer of Ajax star Mohammed Kudus, 22, and Benifca’s Goncalo Ramos, 21.
      Both have hit double figures in their league campaigns, though Kudus has enjoyed his most prolific period coming off the right flank, so represents a versatile option.
      Finally, Brighton starlet Evan Ferguson is wanted, but a transfer for the teenager seems highly unlikely given the contract extension he signed last month.
      This being said, with the Irish ace admitting his idol growing up was Wayne Rooney, there may be room for a transfer in the future.
      While striker will be a position Ten Hag is desperate to address, other positions such as centre-back and midfield will need additions if the club are to fulfil his aim of fighting for the Premier League title.
      In these terms, Prem stars Declan Rice and Mason Mount have both been linked with a move to Old Trafford, along with defenders Kim Min-jae and Jermaine Frimpong.

      Manchester City and United, plus Liverpool, have been mentioned too.
      Talks with Real over a new contract began in December but appear to have ended in failure.
      The three-time Champions League winner wanted more regular starts under Carlo Ancelotti.
      And although the Italian boss has insisted Asensio is a key player, he has still mainly used the playmaker only from the bench.

      It’s claimed PSG are also interested in the stylish performer.
      But the strongest demand for the Bernabeu super-sub seems to come from the English top flight.
      Arsenal were understood to have held negotiations over Asensio earlier this year.
      And it’s thought Luis Enrique would also be keen if the ex-Barcelona chief took over at Tottenham.

      Stamford Bridge has long been talked up as a possible destination.
      But incoming Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is sure to re-balance a squad that looks top-heavy with creative players.
      Wherever Asensio ends up, few stars will have a better list of club honours.
      Apart from his Champions League treble, he’s also won LaLiga three times, plus four Club World Cups.
      That’s on top of three European Super Cups, a trio of Spanish Super Cups and one Copa del Rey. More

      Manchester United, Chelsea and Bayern Munich also remain interested in the midfielder.
      However, the Mirror report Rice is ready to make it clear he favours a move to the Emirates – in a major boost for the North Londoners.
      Rice, 24, will likely be allowed to leave the London Stadium if a Champions League club comes in and matches the Hammers’ £100million asking price.
      But it is Arsenal who have been working hardest, with boss Mikel Arteta devising a plan to rebuild his midfield this summer around Rice.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      That could see both Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka exit the club, with Rice and Brighton’s Moises Caicedo top of the transfer wish list.
      And the West Ham academy graduate – who was released by Chelsea aged 14 – appears keen to join the project.
      Rice has publicly insisted he remains fully focused on the Hammers for now, especially as he prepares to lead his team out in Prague for the Europa Conference League final on June 7.
      However, once the season is over, speculation will no doubt ramp up with Rice such an in-demand star.

      West Ham are already said to have lined up a possible replacement for Rice in the shape of relegated Southampton’s captain James Ward-Prowse.

      Sheikh Jassim ‘would scrap Erik ten Hag rule’ if he wins Man Utd takeover race after boss’ Cristiano Ronaldo reaction

      by

      THE potental new Manchester United owner reportedly plans to scrap Erik ten Hag’s new rule if he takes over at Old Trafford.Sheikh Jassim is in a battle with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and other investors to buy the club from the Glazer family.

      Sheikh Jassim could try to scrap it if he becomes the new Man Utd owner
      The Qatari banker has offered around £5.5billion for United with plans to wipe out the club’s £500million debt and invest in the overdue renovation of the 76,000-seater stadium.
      And if he did come out on top, the Qatari bidder would likely ditch the pay limit introduced by Ten Hag in the wake of the Cristiano Ronaldo saga.

      Ronaldo, who earned an initial £480,000 per week upon his return to Manchester, was axed following his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan in which he publicly criticised the club, the manager and his team-mates.
      In response to that, reports emerged suggested Ten Hag would implement a new rule capping wages at £200,000 per week to avoid a culture of jealousy in the United dressing room.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      The ploy was criticised by Gary Neville who claimed it would price the club out of landing their primary transfer targets.
      And now Team Talk state Sheikh Jassim will rip up that idea as part of his grand plans to try and sign some of the world’s top talents.
      The likes of PSG pair Neymar and Kylian Mbappe have both been linked with United – but there is no way of signing either on contracts worth £200,000 per week, roughly a third of their current deals.
      And the reported plans to ditch the manager’s new scheme if Sheikh Jassim comes in could set the pair on a collision course.

      Ten Hag has enjoyed a fine debut season with United, leading them to Carabao Cup glory and qualifying for the Champions League.
      But after clinching a place in the top four, Ten Hag declared he needs “better players” at his disposal to challenge for the title.
      The ex-Ajax boss said: “It is a good base to build on but standards have to go up and demands have to rise.
      “We have to work in the summer with this squad but we also have to strengthen in the window with this squad.
      “We want to compete for the title but it has to be realistic. It is what is there.
      “Now, we are far away so there is a lot of work to do but we need better players if want to compete for the highest.”
      United have been linked with signing a host of huge players and could shell out as much as £365m on FIVE stars.
      The man at the top of the list is Harry Kane with the likes of Declan Rice, Mason Mount, Kim Min-jae and Jeremie Frimpong among others supposedly being targeted. More

      Ten Hag begs Man Utd to buy ‘better players’ for title fight – but transfer targets like Kane and Mount could cost £365m

      But they remain well adrift of local rivals Manchester City – who sit 17 points clear of their neighbours heading into the final weekend of the season.
      And Ten Hag has admitted his squad needs to be bolstered significantly if they are to end their decade-long pursuit of a league title.
      Speaking after the win over Chelsea, he told Sky Sports: “It is a good base to build on but standards have to go up and demands have to rise.
      “We have to work in the summer with this squad but we also have to strengthen in the window with this squad.

      The size of Ten Hag’s transfer kitty this summer looks set to depend on who owns the club.

      United have been linked with signing a host of huge players and could shell out as much as £365million on FIVE stars.
      Tottenham striker Harry Kane is the most high-profile target as he prepares to enter the final 12 months of his contract.
      But the England skipper could still set United back £100m as Spurs hold out for a huge fee for their all-time record scorer.
      Another Three Lions star seemingly on the market is midfielder Mason Mount.
      The Chelsea man also has just one year left on his existing deal and has been linked with United, Arsenal and Liverpool.
      Ten Hag is keen to acquire him for £55m, but Blues owner Todd Boehly is believed to be commanding £80m.
      And Mount’s childhood friend, Declan Rice, is expected to cost even more when he departs West Ham.
      The 24-year-old Hammers captain has been priced at £100m by David Moyes’ men.
      And interest from a number of Premier League giants – such as Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd – could drive the price through the roof.
      Napoli centre-back Kim Min-jae is another summer pursuit that will cost around £40m.

      And Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong could come in as competition for Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot.
