You wonder if he'd be interested in ditching also rans like Spurs for Real Madrid?
Yeah. He and his agents have been mature. For such a top player, he has not been very agitated. United and Chelsea recently bought inferior strikers. Is he maybe eyeing a longer term play like replacing Ronaldo / Messi (that’s what the English commentators say he’s worth), or is he relatively settled in north London and willing to let Spurs build around him?
I also wonder if the relative appeal of ditching Spurs is as great now as it was when guys like Bale and Modric left. For certain personalities, it might be enough. You can go into Champions League at least occasionally, you have a big stadium now.
Alli- on the other hand - is rumored to be signing up with Raiola. You link up with him when you want big moves because that is his model for making money. That’s a good signal that someone is exploring moves.
