This season alone has seen the striker chip in with ten goals and 11 assists for Jose Mourinho.
But Kane is yet to get his hands on a trophy during his many years in north London.
And with his 28th birthday approaching this summer, time is running out for the England captain to lift some silverware.
Tottenham are one of many teams dreaming of mounting a title challenge this season.
But there is still a long way to go and champions Liverpool continue to pick up points despite injuries to key men including Virgil van Dijk.
And the sparkling recent for of long-term suitors Manchester United has seen them leapfrog the chasing pack.
Should Spurs end up empty handed again, former White Hart Lane icon Woodgate believes Kane should pack his bags and head off for one of the continent’s elite sides.
That way, the forward can take the next step in his development and establish himself as one of the very best in world football.
While winning silverware would also make him a name worthy of being alongside current superstars Messi and Ronaldo.
Woodgate told Stadium Astro: “If Real Madrid come in for you – especially Harry Kane – he has got to go.
“If he wants to win trophies and get onto that next pedestal of Messi, Ronaldo and that type of player, he has to go.
“I don’t see him winning the league at Spurs, not this season and not in the next few seasons.
“They have got too much building to do to get up there with Liverpool and Man City.
“For me, if he wants to win the European Cup, then he has got a chance of winning it at Real Madrid.”
