Tottenham chief Daniel Levy has called Real Madrid to offer Christian Eriksen transfer


Tottenham chief Levy could lose Eriksen this summer, with the Denmark international eager to leave the club for a new challenge elsewhere.

The playmaker hinted at the start of the month that he was looking to leave the north London giants, saying: “I feel that I am in a place in my career, where I might want to try something new.

“I have the wildest and deepest respect for everything that has happened in Tottenham. But I have also said that I would like to try something new.

“I hope there will be a clarification during the summer. That’s the plan. It can happen anytime. Everyone wants it best if it happens as soon as possible, but in football things take time.

“It depends on Daniel Levy. And another club has to come. Or I have to sit down at the table and negotiate a new contract. If I have to go, then hopefully it will be a step up.

“Real Madrid? It’s a step up. But it requires Real Madrid to call Tottenham and say they want Christian. And they have not done so yet, as far as I know.”

And Spanish newspaper Marca claim that Tottenham’s Levy has called Real Madrid to offer them the chance to sign Eriksen.

Levy is aware that, should he fail to move the player on this summer, he will lose him for nothing next year.

As a means of avoiding that situation, the Tottenham kingpin is trying to get Eriksen off the books right away.

Marca say that Spurs will accept a fee of £62million for their star asset.

But Real are yet to accept the offer, with the La Liga giants currently eager to land Paul Pogba or Donny Van de Beek.

Pogba himself has flirted with a move away from Manchester United, saying: “There is a lot of thinking [going on].

“I have been three years in Manchester and have been doing great – some good moments and some bad moments, like everybody, like everywhere else.

“After this season and everything that happened, with my season being my best season … it could be a good time to have a new challenge somewhere else.”

Van De Beek, meanwhile, flourished for Ajax last season.

The Holland international helped his club win the Eredivisie title and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

But who Real end up with this transfer window is something only time will tell.
