Real Madrid stuttering again in the Champions League has inevitably led to a crisis situation for the media covering the club.
Wednesday saw multiple columns talking of panic at the Spanish side, with goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois under the most scrutiny.
Midfield has again also been an issue, and Marca are already talking up signings for the January window. It’s no shock to see Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen getting a mention, and he’s now seen as a main candidate for Madrid’s winter market.
The Spurs man’s representatives are said to have held talks with Madrid during the summer window, however, it was brief and didn’t lead to anything.
That’s partly because Zinedine Zidane wouldn’t let go of his Paul Pogba dream, yet signing the Manchester United player is still seen as likely too difficult.
Eriksen may welcome that news, and Marca say the Tottenham player is waiting for the ‘final call’ about leaving the club and moving to Los Blancos.Ajax’s Donny van de Beek is another option, but he’s not keen on a winter move.
