According to El Nacional, Carlo Ancelotti has urged Real Madrid to sign Manchester United target Victor Osimhen instead of Harry Kane. Los Blancos were heavily linked with making a move for Kane in the summer.
The Englishman is one of the most sought-after attackers in world football. He has been tremendous for Tottenham and is the club's all-time leading scorer. However, it would cost more than €100 million to sign Kane. The player is also keen on staying in the Premier League as he is closing in on Alan Shearer's all-time scoring record.
A move for Kane looks difficult at the moment. Hence, Carlo Ancelotti has suggested that Madrid make a move for Osimhen. Los Blancos are looking to reinforce their striking options after Karim Benzema's departure to Al-Ittihad.

Osimhen was Napoli's leading attacker as they won the Serie A last season. The Nigerian striker, who is still only 24, scored 31 goals and provided five assists in 39 matches across competitions this season.
He is in demand and Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are among clubs looking to sign the player. Real Madrid entering the race could change the landscape. Osimhen is expected to cost well more than €100 million. However, his goalscoring prowess is beyond doubt and he could serve as an excellent replacement for Benzema.
