Three days ago, Mundo Deportivo explained Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is so ‘stubborn’ with signing Manchester United’s Paul Pogba that he’s ruled out Christian Eriksen as an alternative to the Frenchman.
Mundo covered those claims after receiving information from Real Madrid’s board.
AS on Tuesday claims otherwise. The Tottenham Hotspur star is not ruled out as a Los Blancos transfer target and has reentered their agenda for next season.
The Denmark international is a second or third choice target for Zidane’s side, while he is also linked with a move to Atletico. The 27-year-old has kept the door open and is waiting for one of the clubs to make an offer.
AS claims the La Liga side reached a verbal agreement with Eriksen earlier in the window and he could leave the north London club for a fee around €70m.
It’s claimed Mauricio Pochettino is planning the new project at Tottenham without Eriksen after he turned down an opportunity to sign an extension.
The former Southampton manager is looking for his employer to sell the player, according to the claims, and it’s also stated the Dane wants to leave.
He’s been waiting for Real Madrid, who are looking to strengthen their midfield in this window. This is only a little hope for him, and it’s largely based on AS believing Pochettino wouldn’t be too sorry to see the player go.
