#3 Harry Kane

Tottenham Hotspur captain Harry Kane, a key target of Real Madrid, is one of the best goal-scorers of his generation.

Despite scoring countless goals for Spurs, Kane's time at the London club has been marked by a lack of trophies. This is undoubtedly a situation he will aim to correct as he approaches the latter years of his career.

Harry Kane has been Tottenham Hotspur's top scorer for seven consecutive seasons, so the England captain could be a very welcome addition at Real Madrid, who have struggled for goals.

Since Cristiano Ronaldo's departure in 2018, Real Madrid have relied almost solely on Karim Benzema for goals. While the Frenchman has delivered superbly, it has been inadequate on some occasions.

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has a reputation of driving hard bargains for selling players. However, with the team's chances of silverware looking bleaker with every passing season, Kane might push for a move out of the club.


#4 Kylian Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe is one of the best young players in the game at the moment. From his teenage years, he has been breaking countless scoring records in the French Ligue 1.

After six years in the French top flight, Mbappe could be on the move to Real Madrid.

The youngster has scored over 150 goals in his short career and has won every trophy available to him except the Champions League. He came closest to winning the prestigious competition last season but lost to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in the final.

With Real Madrid winning the most Champions League trophies in competition history, Los Blancos could be Mbappe's best chance of winning the trophy should it elude him again this season.

Mbappe is currently the second-most expensive signing in history, so Real Madrid will definitely have to break the bank to secure his services. However, the 22-year-old has just one year left on his contract at PSG and has not signed a new contract yet, hinting at an interest in a Real Madrid move.


#5 Erling Haaland

Borussia Dortmund sensation, Erling Haaland, has been widely touted as the next big thing in the game.

Fans and pundits worldwide have predicted another "Ronaldo Vs Messi" competition between the Norwegian and PSG's Kylian Mbappe.

The 20-year-old striker joined Borussia Dortmund last year and has already scored 49 goals for the Black and Yellows. Haaland has an insatiable hunger for scoring goals as well as winning trophies. While he has demonstrated the former in abundance at Dortmund, the latter is yet to happen.

A move to Real Madrid could provide him the opportunity to win multiple trophies as he could also be the heir apparent of the club's veteran Karim Benzema.

Haaland has spent just over a year at Borussia Dortmund and reportedly has a €60M release clause. However, it would only get activated in 2022.

The striker looks destined to leave Borussia Dortmund this summer, and Real Madrid are one of the few clubs that could secure his signature.
