RAMON CALDERON says Real Madrid have no choice but to target Harry Kane to ensure they stay at the top of European football.
Tottenham star Kane is wanted by Madrid after establishing himself as one of the best strikers in world football.
The England star impressed during the 1-1 Champions League draw in the Bernabeu last night as the Spanish side saw close up just what a good player he has become.
Real have won the Champions League in the last two years and are defending La Liga champions during an amazing period for the club.
And former Real president Calderon says the club have to be in the market for the 24-year-old to maintain their status at the top of world football.
Calderon said: "Now Madrid are always on the lookout for the top players.
"A club like Real Madrid is obliged to have important players so they can bring in new sponsors, brands and keep generating more money so they can maintain their current status.
"That money helps you to invest, save and invest again.

"I suppose Madrid would like to sign Kane, it depends on a few things, such as the desires of player and the coach, but without a doubt he is an outstanding player."
Tottenham have no intention of selling their star player, but they are realistic to know that will not stop some of Europe's big clubs from making advances.

And chairman Daniel Levy is understood to have already made it clear he would not even entertain offers if they were less than the £198million world record fee Paris Saint-Germain paid for Neymar.
Calderon added: "He would not be cheap, but when I signed Cristiano Ronaldo for 80 million everyone thought I was crazy and look where we are now.
"One hundred and fifty million is now seen as nothing, it's normal. We no longer know what the limit is."
Real boss Zinedine Zidane has hardly hidden his admiration for the England star, hailing him as a 'complete player' in the build-up to this week's match.
But Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino says he wants his striker to emulate Francesco Totti's brilliant one club career at Roma by staying in North London.
