    According to The Athletic, Real are among the clubs keeping tabs in the star striker after Ancelotti declared his interest during transfer showdown talks with the club’s hierarchy.
    The Italian tactician met with president Florentino Perez and general manager Jose Angel Sanchez on Thursday at Los Blancos’ Valdebebas training ground.
    That is when the ex-Chelsea boss asked for the England captain to reinforce his attack ahead of next season.
    The former Everton manager will need a new centre-forward if Karim Benzema ends his legendary 14-year stint at Santiago Bernabeu amid ongoing reports linking him with Al-Ittihad.

    Ancelotti remained coy, though, when addressing links with Kane recently.
    The 63-year-old head coach described the forward as a “top player” but insisted he wouldn’t discuss the topic further out of “respect” for Tottenham.
    Ancelotti said: “Harry Kane is a top player but we have to respect Tottenham, he’s a Tottenham player.
    “I can guarantee to you that Real Madrid will have a competitive team again next season”.

    Manchester United are also in the running for Kane’s signature amid their desperate search for a top centre-forward to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.
    The 29-year-old doesn’t appear keen to go abroad as he is only 48 goals away from surpassing Alan Shearer’s legendary Premier League record of 260.
    Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, though, is not keen to sell his star player to a direct rival. More

    He said on BBC punditry duty: “I was out every week, but anyway. 
    “It was painful to say the least and I just remember we were going out – and you always go out for a drink after the season or whatnot.

    “And I used to hate him so much for it, but, but, we won it in 2012 so where did you find me? In the exact same place.” 
    Asked if he rocked up with his medal, Richards said: “Of course!”

    Mount, 24, has been at the club since academy level and currently earns a weekly wage of £75,000.
    His current contract at Stamford Bridge is set to expire at the end of next season.

    Boss Erik ten Hag is thought to be a fan of Mount’s pressing game and is keen to add more athleticism to his midfield options.

    An exit for Mount would relieve potential FFP issues the club could face with the Blues holding out for £70m plus add-ons.
    Although due to his contract running down, the Red Devils are hoping to pay between £50m and £60m and have made contact with the London club.
    If a deal cannot be agreed with United or another of Mount’s suitors, the Blues would look to get one last season out of him and try to persuade him to stay for longer in the meantime.
    Mount looked emotional at the end of Chelsea’s final match of the season last month as he waved goodbye to supporters. More
