Real Madrid to pull off stunning swap deal with Juventus, Manchester United begin talks to sign Barcelona superstar and more: Transfer Roundup, 12 January 2019

Tottenham quote Harry Kane price

Real Madrid have finally made an enquiry about Harry Kane and Tottenham Hotspur have quoted a whopping €350 million asking price for the Englishman, according to AS.

Real Madrid are going through quite a rough patch following the exit of Cristiano Ronaldo with Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and the rest of the big stars failing to provide goals at the Bernabeu. As such, signing a top striker has become a thing of necessity at Spurs.

Real Madrid had enquired about Cristian Eriksen and were asked to pay €250 million. If at all Los Blancos decide to go for it and break the bank for Harry Kane who is arguably the best striker in the world right now, it will make him the world's most expensive player.
