REAL MADRID are reportedly reserving their No.9 shirt for England icon Harry Kane as they look to snap him up from Tottenham.
Karim Benzema waved goodbye to Los Blancos after 14 years of service and reports suggest that Madrid are desperate to replace him with Kane this summer.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are on the verge of landing Alexis Mac Allister for much less than their initially quoted £70million fee according to reports.
And SunSport can exclusively reveal that Brentford want £40m for Spanish keeper David Raya – but Spurs only want to pay half.
