Madrid interested in Lautaro as Kane's price-tag too high

Carlo Ancelotti wants to reinforce his forward line with Harry Kane while Real Madrid, who accepted the Italian's request, now doubt the economic viability of the operation and prefer to wait for Kylian Mbappe, who would arrive for free in the summer of 2024.
On Friday, the 'Daily Mail' reported that the Tottenham striker's operation is at a complete standstill, as the 'Merengues' do not intend to pay more than 100 million euros for the England international. However, according to the aforementioned media, the Santiago Bernabeu's board is thinking about another top-class striker.
The aforementioned media outlet said that the chosen one could be Inter Milan attacker Lautaro Martinez. The World Cup winner with Argentina is valued at just over 70 million euros and could fit into Real Madrid's economic parameters.
It is worth remembering several points that make the Spanish capital still not rule out Kane. Firstly, Levy would be willing to lower his demands in the coming weeks, as his first objective is not to sell him to another Premier League club. In addition, the Spurs captain's contract expires in 2024 and this could be the last great opportunity to make money from a possible sale of the British striker.
Last but not least, despite the interest in Lautaro, Madrid's priority continues to be the England international. At the same time, the 'Merengues' club are considering low-cost alternatives such as Rodrigo Moreno or Joselu Mato.
