Harry Kane Is A Magnificent Player – Florentino Perez

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has played down media reports that his club are considering signing Tottenham striker Harry Kane.

Asked if it is in the works to make a move for Kane, Perez told Cadena Cope: “Honestly, it hasn’t. He is a magnificent player, he is young and has many years to progress. But we are delighted not just with [Karim] Benzema, but with all the players that we have.”

Perez denied that Levy had given him an asking price for Kane, saying: “No he didn’t and had I asked him for the price he would have asked for €250m. He always goes for the top [amount]. We have become friends because of the time it took us to sign [former Tottenham players] Luka Modric and Gareth Bale.

“Every time we win a European title, he [Levy] sends me the same message: ‘Congratulations for the European title you have won with my players.'”

Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos was asked by reporters about the prospect of his club signing Kane, but he was reluctant to comment on the rumours.

“That’s not my job,” he said. “He’s a good player, you don’t score so many goals in the Premier League if you’re not a good striker of course. But if you buy him or not, that’s not my job.”
