Signing for Real Madrid can never really be a terrible thing.
For Christian Eriksen, it appears to be a move his entourage has been fishing for. There’s been public flirting, yet that didn’t have the desired impact ahead of the summer transfer window.
Whilst the Danish press would jump on anything linking the Tottenham player to Barcelona or Madrid, the media closest to the Spanish club didn’t seem quite as excited.
Over the past week or so, the Spurs man has enjoyed several front pages from Spanish newspapers, talking up a move in January or next summer, yet the reasoning doesn’t seem great.
Not for the first time, Marca report on Monday that Eriksen is an option mainly because it’s a ‘unique chance’ for Real Madrid to get him cheaply. It’s stated that whereas Daniel Levy once asked for €250m, Tottenham could now accept €25m.
Marca explain: ‘At that price, regardless of what Zidane thinks, in the club they consider it a unique chance.’
That isn’t exactly a well thought out transfer strategy. Zidane’s future will always be under question, it’s the nature of the job, yet if a manager doesn’t want a player, and the 
major reason to sign him is that he’s cheap, it doesn’t say a lot for the planning of how he’ll be used.
Eriksen may want to seek assurances that Real Madrid actually know what they’re going to do with him.
