Clearly unhappy at Tottenham and wanting to try something new, Christian Eriksen finally got his move in January, swapping London for Milan as he was welcomed as a hero at Inter.
The Serie A side paid around £18m for his services, as he signed a three and a half year contract with the Italians, but the experience hasn’t been the greatest for the Denmark international so far.
He’s managed a measly eight appearances in all competitions, scoring one goal and picking up an assist, both coming in the two legs against Ludogorets in the Europa League.
Serie A football has also been hard for him to come by, as he’s started just one game in the competition, and with the league currently suspended until at least April 3rd, he might not have much more opportunity to prove himself.
El Desmarque look at his situation on Wednesday, and explains his struggles to be a regular starter is when he has ‘started to have doubts about whether he took the right decision and should have gone to Real Madrid’ instead.
He has also allegedly been ‘wondering’ if the La Liga giants might have been a ‘better option’ for him.
His decision to leave Tottenham might have been the one he felt was necessary, but it’s true he probably expected something different from his first couple of months in Italy.
As for whether Real Madrid were ever really keen on him, only Florentino Pérez and co. know that, but the fact they never came forward to knock on Daniel Levy’s door at Spurs suggests it might not have been an option during the last transfer window.
