Real Madrid news: Harry Kane transfer plot revealed - demands made
REAL MADRID president Florentino Perez is lining up a sensational £177.6million move for Harry Kane, but the fee will not be the only stumbling block.
Kane scored his second successive hat-trick in Tottenham's Boxing Day win over Southampton.
His goals helped him overtake Barcelona star Lionel Messi to become the top scorer in Europe's top five leagues for 2017.
And he also broke Alan Shearer's Premier League tally for a calendar year.
The England international's incredible rise to stardom has led to speculation linking him with a move to a number of Europe's top clubs with Real Madrid supposedly leading the charge for his signature.
Kane has repeatedly hinted that he wants to play his entire career at Tottenham.
But Diario Gol claim Real are desperate to bring the striker to the Bernabeu with Barcelona running away with the La Liga title this season.
Perez has been working hard behind the scenes in order to target a new striker in the New Year and it is said Kane is now their No1 target.

Karim Benzema has endured a torrid season at the Bernabeu
Karim Benzema has endured a torrid time in front of goal this season, scoring just twice in the league so far.
Zinedine Zidane has been a stout defender of the 30-year-old, despite his poor form.
But the report suggests Kane would only entertain a move to the Spanish capital if he was guaranteed to be the first-choice striker, meaning Benzema would likely have to leave.
