Real Madrid are on the lookout for a long-term replacement for Luka Modric and they have some interesting names on the list. Tottenham's Christan Eriksen was said to be the top target till now but there has been a dramatic change.

With Spurs reportedly demanding over £150 million for the Danish midfielder, Madrid have turned to Sergej Milinković-Savić. The Lazio star is now the main target according to Don Balon.

Milinković-Savić has been a target for Manchester United for a long time and the Red Devils were said to be extremely keen on signing him under Jose Mourinho. However, things have changed now and they have to fight Real Madrid if they are still interested in signing him.

The Lazio star has gone on from being one of the most sort-after players in the top 5 European leagues to one who is living in Lucas Leiva's shadow now. However, Madrid are willing to pay €120 million to sign according to the report in Don Balon.
