Real Madrid to begin talks over £173m Harry Kane move this week?

Real Madrid chiefs will reportedly head to London this week to begin discussions with Tottenham Hotspur over a £173m deal for striker Harry Kane.

The England international has been an on-off target for Los Blancos over the past couple of years thanks to his incredible scoring success in the Premier League.

Despite missing parts of this season with an ankle injury, Kane has struck 17 times in the top flight to take his overall tally in the competition to 178 goals.

According to Don Balon, Madrid are not put off by Tottenham's huge valuation of the player and they hope to make a breakthrough in negotiations in the coming days.

The report indicates that Kane could become the first 'Galactico' signing of a new era at the Bernabeu, closely followed by Chelsea forward Eden Hazard.

Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar is currently the most expensive footballer in the world, signed by the French side from Barcelona in a £198m deal a year-and-a-half ago.
