Real Madrid's Karim Benzema is on the verge of leaving Real Madrid

Real Madrid are reportedly preparing to replace Karim Benzema if he decides to accept the mouthwatering offer and move to the Saudi Pro League this summer.

Real Madrid have identified Harry Kane as the ideal replacement for Karim Benzema if the legendary French striker accepts a move to Saudi oil-rich side Al-Ittihad.

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.

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