Real Madrid president Perez wants either Kane or Dybala after his Barcelona snub - report
REAL MADRID president Florentino Perez is working hard on new signings, with both Harry Kane and Paulo Dybala on his wish list.
Real Madrid reportedly want to sign either Paulo Dybala or Harry Kane
That is according to Barcelona-based newspaper Mundo Deportivo, who claim Perez is on the transfer warpath.
Real Madrid are said to have already agreed a deal in principle to trigger Kepa Arrizabalaga’s release clause in January.
And were it up to Perez then Kane would also be joining him.
The report claims, however, that Real are highly unlikely to land the Tottenham striker in January and that a summer swoop is a more credible hope.
Not that Spurs will be receptive to an offer in either window.
Perez is supposedly more confident of landing Juventus striker Dybala - and that is because Barcelona don’t want him.
Tottenham are unlikely to accept even high offers for Harry Kane
Mundo Deportivo claim Perez is aware that Barca are not convinced that Dybala can play alongside his Argentina international team-mate Lionel Messi.
Messi is the kingpin at Barca and recently signed a new contract.
And technical director Robert Fernandez doesn’t think Dybala’s arrival would aid the 30-year-old.

Therefore a switch from Juventus to Real Madrid is on the cards, with Mundo Deportivo claiming Gareth Bale is all set to leave the Bernabeu at the end of the season.
Kane, as well as PSG striker Neymar, remains the dream signing for Perez.
But Dybala is a more realistic acquisition as the president seeks to bolster manager Zinedine Zidane’s forward options for next term.
