Florentino Perez is eyeing major additions in January after Real Madrid’s poor start and has reignited interest in Tottenham star Harry Kane, El Confidencial reports.
What’s the word?
Tottenham currently find themselves in a transitional period, with the club eagerly awaiting their move to a new stadium, but there could be further changes on the cards that would be perceived as negatives for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
Spanish outlet El Confidencial reports that Real Madrid are back in the hunt for Harry Kane as Florentino Perez eyes major additions after a woeful start to the season for Los Blancos, and could take advantage of any struggles that emerge for Spurs.
Following UEFA’s rule change that allows players signed in January to play in a European competition even if they have represented another club, like Kane with Spurs, Real are ready to reignite a monstrous move but may wait until the summer.
Will he go?
The remainder of the season is set to be crucial for Tottenham in both the short-term and the long-term, as the Lilywhites cannot afford to slip in a top-four battle that is emerging to be extremely fierce following the revival of arch-rivals Arsenal under Unai Emery.

Missing out on Champions League football would increase the chances of Kane jumping ship next summer but, following UEFA’s rule changes, there is also a chance that the England striker could be lured away in January.
That increases the pressure on Spurs to improve their Champions League form after the international break following two consecutive defeats against Inter Milan and Barcelona, which have left the club at risk of seeing their continental campaign go up in smoke.
Should they suffer a premature exit at the group stages, Kane may be tempted to move to the Spanish capital in order to not only continue playing in Europe’s elite competition, but also to boost his chances of winning trophies in the future.
