Spurs have been handed a boost in their bid to keep hold of Harry Kane after former Real Madrid president, Ramon Calderon effectively ruled the Spanish giants out of the running for his signature this summer.
With Tottenham struggling to end their trophy drought, reports have tipped Kane to leave them when the transfer window reopens.
Spurs sell players, but Daniel Levy almost ensures that teams pay top dollar to get their hands on any of his assets.
With that in mind, rumours can link only a few teams with a move for the England captain and Madrid is one of them.
Los Blancos always sign the world’s best stars and this has seen them acquire the likes of Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane in previous years.
Kane could be one player that joins them, but that is unlikely to be this summer according to Calderon.
He admitted that it is normal for them to be linked with a move for top stars, but they have less money to spend on a blockbuster signing when the transfer window reopens.
He told Talksport via Sun Sports: “There are always rumours at this time of the season.
“They are talking about Mbappe, Haaland… too many players.
“We are not in the best form economically-speaking because we are refurbishing our stadium spending a lot of money.
“It will be difficult to spend money in the summer. We always try to sign good players, we’ve been doing that for years.”
