Being linked to Real Madrid is nothing strange for Tottenham Hotspur pair Harry Kane and Dele Alli.
The duo have been amid transfer gossip for some time due to their rise at the North London outfit over the last few years.
The Spanish giants have regularly been touted in the media as potential suitors for the pair, but Luis Figo has suggested that neither would be able to cope with the demands that playing at the Bernabeu brings.
A club of Real Madrid’s stature is expected to win trophies season by season, and on occasion if they fail to do so, the manager gets the axe.
Figo spent five years playing for Los Blancos, and in that time scooped seven trophies, including two La Liga titles and the Champions League.
Alli and Kane are yet to win any silverware with Tottenham, but they came close to pushing for the league crown in the last two seasons when they finished third and second respectively.
According to the London Evening Standard, Figo has questioned whether the pair would cope in Madrid.
“They are very good players, top players, but one thing is to play for Tottenham and the other thing is to play for Real Madrid, you know And this is not missing of respect of Tottenham. It is what is like. Real Madrid is different, eh?
“In terms of pressure… because it’s a lot of pressure too. Of course Kane is fantastic and Dele Alli too and I love to see them play and they’re doing fantastic. But Tottenham is a big club too, so I don’t know if the president of Tottenham is open to selling them.”
