But there are several clubs in Europe jostling for the player’s signature as he can now agree to pre-contract talks with any of his suitors.
The Austrian international is expected to smile home with, at least, £165,000 a week in wages at Real Madrid, while he will also be paid £17.2m to join Zinedine Zidane's side.
Legit.ng earlier reported that any club willing to sign Tottenham striker Harry Kane will have to cough up as much as £120 million just to get the player’s signature.
The England forward has been heavily linked with Premier League rivals Manchester City as well as Spanish giants Real Madrid with the player desperate to leave the north London outfit.
And The Athletic journalist David Ornstein via Soccer Laduma has disclosed that Kane’s mind is already made up and the star believes he should leave Spurs during the summer.
