Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen will be the subject of summer interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.
That’s according to the Daily Express, who report that Eriksen would prefer a move to Madrid given the fact he has wanted to represent Los Blancos since he was a child.
The 27-year-old joined Spurs from Ajax in 2013 for just £11m and has since established himself as one of the Premier League’s best attacking midfielders.
This season he has mustered five goals and nine assists in 27 top-flight appearances, meaning he is the club’s fourth top goalscorer.
It is believed that Real are keen on the Dane, with returning manager Zinedine Zidane keen to stamp his mark on the squad in the upcoming transfer window.
However, they are likely to be put off by the world record £200m fee Spurs Chairman Daniel Levy is holding out for.
One thing that will play into the hands of his admirers is the fact that Eriksen’s contract at the North London club expires in the summer of 2020, meaning Levy could be forced to sell to avoid losing him on a free transfer.
