Preparations for life without Karim Benzema have already begun at Real Madrid.

With the prolific French striker reportedly destined for the Saudi Pro League, Los Blancos have shifted their attention to finding a replacement and identified Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane as a summer target, according to The Guardian's Jacob Steinberg.

Tottenham will likely be reluctant to part with the 29-year-old English striker, but Kane, who has one year left on his contract, could put the north London side and chairman Daniel Levy in an awkward situation if he demands a transfer this summer.
