Carlo Ancelotti Blocks Harry Kane From Joining Real Madrid

Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti has blocked the club from signing Tottenham Hotspur striker, Harry Kane.

Catalan daily El Nacional reports that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez wanted Kane to fill Karim Benzema’s shoes.

Benzema left Santiago Bernabeu as a free agent this summer but the Italian tactician vetoed a move for the English striker.

The 29-year-old England national team captain has since been linked with a move to Bayern Munich.

Tottenham have already rejected two bids from the Germans, including a first bid worth €70 million and an improved offer of €80 million plus add-ons.

Real Madrid have, however, signed Spanish striker Joselu on a season-long loan from Espanyo.

Real Madrid pipped Barcelona to the signing of 18-year-old Arda Guler from Fenerbahce. The Turkish midfielder is considered among the best talents in world football at the moment. Apart from Los Blancos, Barca and Arsenal were also interested in the player.

However, Guler chose to join the Madrid giants in a €18 million move.

Arda Guler is a creative player who can operate on the right wing and in attacking midfield. Given his exceptional close control and eye for a pass, Guler has been labeled the "Turkish Messi" and has also drawn comparisons with former Real Madrid midfielder Mesut Ozil.
