#3 Harry Kane, Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur's unsettled talisman Harry Kane is one of football's most lethal goalscorers. The Englishman has established himself as the marquee global superstar of his generation after dominating the Premier League goalscoring charts.

Enduring a trophyless run at Spurs, Real Madrid may offer Kane an undeniable opportunity to challenge for domestic and continental honours. His newfound strength as a deep-lying centre-forward could see him link up and provide for the likes of Vinicius Jr and Eden Hazard. Whilst Karim Benzema is still a bonafide force in the Real Madrid attack, the club will be anxious to ensure his eventual departure does not disrupt team chemistry.


#2 Robert Lewandowski, Bayern Munich

Robert Lewandowski seems to be seeking a new challenge after destroying almost every Bundesliga goalscoring record during his time with Bayern Munich. However, the 32-year-old Polish hitman may not be in line with Real Madrid's usual transfer policy of signing players in their 20s. But Lewandowski is showing no signs of slowing down.

After being denied a Ballon d'Or in a record-breaking treble season in 2019-20, Lewandowski could now fulfill his lifelong dream of playing for Real Madrid while still at the peak of his powers.


#1 Erling Haaland, Borussia Dortmund

Erling Haaland is perhaps the only European talent who rivals Kylian Mbappe as the new generation's heir apparent for the best player crown. The 20-year-old Norwegian has taken the Bundesliga by storm.

His raw pace, power and clinical finishing make him a one-in-a-generation in a generation talent that would naturally attract Los Blancos' attention. Haaland won't come cheap, though, with Europe's biggest superclubs lined up to avail his services either this summer or the next.

Erling Haaland's arrival at Real Madrid would signal a revival of the "Galactico" era that has been missing over the last couple of years.
