Harry Kane was reportedly Carlo Ancelotti's number one target for Real Madrid last summer - but the England captain joined Bayern Munich instead.
The Real manager had wanted the talisman, then at Spurs, ahead of anyone else, including Jude Bellingham, who has been a revelation in Madrid since his summer move from Borussia Dortmund.
However, a senior figure at Real Madrid vetoed the bid for Kane last summer, because they had their eyes on a different star.
A report by Relevo claims that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez blocked Ancelotti's request to sign Kane last summer - insisting they should wait for Kylian Mbappe.
Mbappe is almost certain to sign for Real as a free agent in the summer at the expiry of his PSG contract.
