Uefa remain open to Tottenham hosting a potential Champions League quarter-final in their new stadium if the £1billion venue is ready in time.
Spurs have one foot in a first quarter-final since 2011 after beating Borussia Dortmund 3-0 at Wembley last night and they visit the Westfalenstadion for the last-16 second leg on March 5.
Uefa regulations broadly leave venue open to discussions with clubs and the governing body should be willing to allow Spurs to move to the 62,062-seat ground later in the competition if possible.
Spurs have been in dialogue with Uefa throughout last summer and this season amid repeated delays to the stadium and talks will continue over the next few weeks, with the quarter-finals scheduled for April 9/10 and 16/17.
Spurs have confirmed they will remain at Wembley until north London derby on March 2 but they are yet to announce where their final five home league games will be played.
Standard Sport understands the Premier League would prefer the club to either play all five in their new home or remain at Wembley for the season, raising the intriguing but unlikely possibility that Spurs could open their new stadium with a Champions League match but not play domestic football there until next term.
Mauricio Pochettino said last week his gut feeling is that it will be "tough" for Spurs to play in their new home this season but chairman Daniel Levy is said to still be optimistic about the chances of relocating before the end of the campaign.
Speaking after the draw at Barcelona which clinched their place on the knockouts Harry Kane said Spurs hoped the New White Hart Lane could have the same impact on them in Europe as Anfield has had on Liverpool.
“It would be incredible, something special, Champions League games in the new stadium," Kane said. “We’ve got to try and create that atmosphere. Everyone knows Anfield’s been fantastic for that. They’ve pulled out some great comebacks and results there and I’m sure that’s what we’re going to have to do to progress in this competition."
