This summer, Arsenal were linked with a bid for Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy, but the Frenchman might now be given to Tottenham Hotspur in a swap deal for Harry Kane.
For many clubs, the forthcoming summer transfer window is likely to be a busy one.Arsenal is attempting to assemble a title-winning squad, but Tottenham is ushering in a new era under Ange Postecoglou.
However, the two North London clubs have distinct priorities at the time. Arsenal requires world-class players, whilst Tottenham’s urgent priority is to keep Kane. Real Madrid could now play a significant role in this.
Real Madrid might offer Tottenham the Arsenal-linked Ferland Mendy in exchange for Harry Kane.
Real Madrid are anxious to acquire a new striker this summer following the departure of Karim Benzema.
Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, two forwards who the Galacticos would want to have, are both currently unavailable, therefore Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane is the next best thing.
Next month, the Englishman will enter the final year of his contract. There is a good probability he will quit the club, and rumors indicate he has already given Real Madrid the ‘the light’ for a move.
Cadena Ser has published the most recent information on the subject, claiming that Real Madrid are unwilling to spend more than £68.8 million (€80 million) on Kane.
Florentino Perez is willing to offer a player in exchange to persuade Daniel Levy, and the source indicates that player might be Ferland Mendy, who has been linked with a move to Spurs’ bitter rivals, Arsenal.
Mikel Arteta is interested in the Frenchman.
Arsenal are expected to sign a new left-back this summer if Kieran Tierney leaves the club.
Following the signing of Oleksandr Zinchenko last year, the Scotsman has dropped down the pecking order at the Emirates. He is likely to depart the club, with both Unai Emery’s Aston Villa and Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United connected with a bid for him.
If Tierney is sold, Mikel Arteta will look for a successor, and Sport recently reported that Arsenal is willing to spend £17 million to get Mendy from Real Madrid. In 2019, the Spanish giants paid £47 million for the left-back (Sky Sports).
If Real Madrid’s plans come to fruition, Mendy might wind up at Tottenham in a player-plus-cash deal that would send Kane to the Bernabeu.
