Real Madrid are the one club in football who could sign Harry Kane from Spurs, according to Lothar Matthaus.
Kane, 25, is a product of Spurs’ academy, having joined as a youngster. The Walthamstow-born forward made his professional debut for Spurs first-team in 2011 but broke into the fold proper during the 2013-14 season.
Other players thought to interest the continent’s elite are Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli, though Spurs have continued to keep their star players interested in the Tottenham project despite the departure of Kyle Walker to Man City two summers ago.
In the past 15 years, Spurs have lost the likes of Michael Carrick, Dimitar Berbatov, Luka Modric and Gareth Bale to elite club sides at the time.
And Matthaus has suggested Kane may need to leave soon, though the only realistic suitor he can imagine is Real Madrid.
“The question is whether Kane wants to leave Spurs, England, the Premier League. He’d never leave Spurs for another Premier League club,” Matthaus wrote in The Sun.
“For one thing it would upset the Tottenham fans, and that’s something he couldn’t do because the relationship he has with them is special.
“I know he loves Spurs. You can tell by the way he talks about the club.
“He might want to stay there for his whole career, breaking all the scoring records, being there for the first 10 years of the new stadium, being a Tottenham legend.
“It would have to be something special for him to leave the club. But if it’s going to happen, it will have to be soon.
“He’s 25 now. If he does not go in the next two years, by the time he is 27, he will never leave.
“If he did, Real are the only club that would be right for him. Real shine brighter than any other club in the world.
“If it happened, everyone would understand, nobody could be angry.”
The German legend went on to theorise Spurs owner Daniel Levy and Harry Kane may have an agreement between them as to how Kane might leave in the future.
“Levy knows what Harry’s done for the club,” the former midfielder, who won the World Cup and Euros with Germany, added.
“It wouldn’t surprise me if there is an understanding, a gentleman’s agreement, between them.
“He would not have anything written into his contract. He is not that sort of player.
“But if he knocked on Daniel’s door, at the right time, and there was a truly serious offer on the table, it may be different.”
Spurs, with Harry Kane in tow, take on Man City on Monday night. The north Londoners currently sit fifth, while City are top.
