Benzema has been offered a bumper deal, worth over €100m a season to swap the bright lights of Madrid for the fast-rising Saudi League, and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has reported that the 35-year-old is seriously considering the offer.

Benzema headed for Real Madrid exit?

According to The Times, Real Madrid will pursue Tottenham striker Harry Kane as they view the Spurs hitman as the perfect replacement for Benzema.

While Tottenham's preference would be to keep Kane for as long as possible, selling him to a club outside the Premier League would be an easier pill for Chairman Daniel Levy to swallow.

Real Madrid would have to face significant competition for his services though, with Manchester United also strongly linked to the England captain.
