REAL MADRID are reportedly keeping an eye on Harry Kane’s future ahead of the summer transfer window after the striker admitted he could leave Tottenham.
The England captain set alarm bells ringing among fans when declaring he will not stay in North London for “the sake of it.”

Zinedine Zidane is intent on signing a world class-striker after failing to replace Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo at the Bernabeu.
The Frenchman’s current frontman Karim Benzema will be 33-years-old this year and Madrid are on the hunt for his successor.
While £62million signing Luka Jovic is already rumoured to be on his way out of the club after failing to impress this season.
According to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Three Lions skipper Kane is among the options to lead the line for Los Blancos next term.
But the 26-year-old’s future is still in Spurs’ hands after penning a bumper six-year contract in the summer of 2018.
The club’s chairman Daniel Levy has reportedly slapped a £200m price tag on his talisman to ward off interested parties and will be loathed to lose a third player to Madrid following deals for Luka Modric and Gareth Bale.
A boost for Spurs is that the next transfer window will come amid football’s major readjustment due to the coronavirus, in a financial and potentially cultural sense.
Large fees are thought to be incredibly unlikely even if top clubs can keep the economic damage to a minimum.
Jose Mourinho’s side are eighth in the Premier League table, seven points adrift of a Champions League spot.
And the fact that Kane is still yet to win a major trophy while spending his entire career with Tottenham could compel him to seek a move.
Speaking last month, the striker declared: “I love Spurs, I’ll always love Spurs.
“But I’ve always said, if I don’t feel we’re going in the right direction then I’m not someone who will just stay for the sake of it.
“I’m an ambitious player, I want to become one of the best players.”
