Real Madrid’s relentless pursuit of Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane is a stark manifestation of their ardent desire to drastically rejuvenate their attack and compete with the top-tier clubs in the league. The decision to sign a top-class striker comes as a surprise, considering the underwhelming form of Kylian Mbappe since his summer transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Mbappe, who was expected to be the crown jewel of the team, has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only eight goals in 16 appearances across competitions. This lackluster performance has coincided with the team’s struggles, with Real Madrid currently sitting third in La Liga and 18th in the Champions League.
