Real Madrid open talks with Tottenham Hotspur for Christian Eriksen

One of the best playmakers in the world

Real Madrid have made contact with Tottenham Hotspur over a potential deal for Christian Eriksen, as per the Independent. Real Madrid are hoping to prise the midfielder away for a £100 million deal.

With Toni Kroos and Luka Modric evidently not getting any younger, Los Blancos are now looking for a top player who can be the creative force at the Bernabeu for years to come and Eriksen fits the bill. Eden Hazard is another Premier League player who has been heavily linked with the European Champions.

Eriksen has not bothered to renew his contract at Tottenham despite the club being ready to offer him £200,000-£250,000 a week and it has been claimed that his concerns lie beyond his current salary.

Bayern Munich have also been linked with Eriksen but the report suggests that Eriksen is unlikely to leave Spurs if not for Barcelona or Real Madrid.
