As reported by 'Relevo', Carlo Ancelotti wants to reinforce the forward line with Harry Kane while Real Madrid, who accepted the Italian's request, now doubts the economic viability of the operation and prefers to wait for Kylian Mbappe, who would arrive for free in the summer of 2024.

Dilemma for Real Madrid. 'Los Blancos' are pondering whether to go for Harry Kane this summer or wait six months to go for Kylian Mbappe, whose contract expires on 30th June 2024, as 'Relevo' reports.
The aforementioned media reports that Carlo Ancelotti has asked the board to sign the Briton, a top player he mentioned during his meeting with Florentino Perez and Jose Angel Sanchez to reinforce the forward line.
However, at the Spanish club there are doubts about the economic viability of the 'Kane operation'. Tottenham want 100 million euros for the transfer and to this must be added 20 million gross in wages for the player.
Florentino Perez believes he could save that amount of money and pay Mbappe the signing bonus, as Kylian could arrive as a free agent if he decides not to extend his contract beyond 2024.
According to the information, the PSG striker is sending signals that give hope to the 'Merengues' president of a possible landing next summer. 'COPE' also follows the same line as 'Relevo' and adds that the idea that the president has in his head is to have an attacking trio formed by the Frenchman, Vinicius and Rodrygo.
The option of placing the former Santos player as a centre forward for this season is a possibility. However, the player himself made it clear after the game against Athletic that the position of '9' is the one he likes least, although it would help, but not always.
For now, Ancelotti is uneasy because the possibility of Kane not arriving is likely to be real. The club are considering ruling out the Briton and waiting again for Mbappe.
