Real Madrid hero Michel Salgado has questioned their interest in Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli.

Salgado doubts Alli could handle the pressure of such a move.

He told talkSPORT: "Obviously they can pursue him because he's a great player, he's young, he's got ability and he's got pace, too.

"But the price is too high, Real Madrid paid big money to Tottenham for Gareth Bale and now if they paid that money for Dele Alli it would be crazy.

"My question is can he cope with pressure of playing for Madrid, which is going to be so many times more than at Tottenham.

"Quality on the pitch he's got it, but at the moment I don't know what's going to happen and hopefully if they do sign him the price will be a little bit cheaper."
