Real Madrid are having a poor season in the La Liga and their claim to a decent season depends on whether they can retain their Champions League trophy or not. They are a whopping 15 points behind their arch-rivals Barcelona and one can be sure that this isn’t going to go down well with Florentino Perez who usually sets insanely high standards. Real Madrid can offload a few players, including their striker Karim Benzema who has been misfiring all season, in the summer window to put up a stronger challenge next season.
It is being reported that Perez will be meeting with Daniel Levy regarding their star striker Harry Kane’s sale. The sensational report suggests that Los Blancos can land the English striker by exchanging their former talismanic player Gareth Bale and Mateo Kovacic with Spurs.
Tottenham Hotspur will be having a huge upcoming transfer window, not in terms of acquiring players but in terms of keeping their key men. All their star players and their manager Mauricio Pochettino have been linked with a move away from the club. However, their board will certainly try their best to keep this generation of players together along with the Argentine tactician as they are close to achieving something special at the club.
On the back of some poor results, the French mastermind Zinedine Zidane has also come under a lot of fire lately and the two-time Champions League winner will be feeling the heat if he isn’t able to deliver the European trophy this season.
Madrid has been relatively silent in the last few transfer windows and it is expected that they are going to go hard at their targets this season. The future of some of their players are also uncertain and they will be looking in the transfer market to replace those outgoing players.
An exchange deal with Gareth Bale and Kovacic is probably too ambitious from the Madrid hierarchy and it will be foolish of Spurs to let their star striker leave without any money being involved. They might be tempted as they will be having their beloved winger Gareth Bale back but in the current setup, Harry Kane is probably the more important player for them.

Kovacic has been fighting for game time at the Bernabeu and his form has been patchy for most of the season. On top of that, Spurs have able options in midfield like Victor Wanayama, Eric Dier and Mousa Dembele so in no way the north Londoners should comply with Madrid’s demand of selling their talismanic striker in exchange of Bale and Kovacic.
