Ancelotti wanted Harry Kane, Real Madrid imposed Kylian Mbappé

Carlo Ancelotti had expressed a strong desire to sign Harry Kane to bolster Real Madrid’s attack. However, the player ultimately signed with Bayern Munich, as the club’s leadership had a different idea in mind: Kylian Mbappé.

The possibility of Harry Kane joining Real Madrid was on the table. However, the club’s executives vehemently rejected Carlo Ancelotti’s proposal. In a one-on-one discussion, Real Madrid’s president, Florentino Perez, reportedly clarified the situation to Ancelotti, indicating that the club’s priorities were clear: Kylian Mbappé was the primary target, and the alternative would be not to sign anyone if the Mbappé transfer wasn’t realized.

This decision underscores the club’s emphasis on securing Kylian Mbappé’s signature, either this summer or the next summer, even as Ancelotti departs Real Madrid to join Brazil. »
