Despite the enormous desire of Christian Eriksen to sign with Real Madrid, this is unlikely to happen, says AS. A week ago, Tottenham’s midfielder directly said he “wants to try something new and take the next step,” but the plans of the Spanish team are different. This information is in line with today’s Mark’s news that coach Zinedine Zidane only wants Paul Pogba, although the leadership has suggested the Danish as his alternative.
Still, the club bosses have tended to respect the wishes of their mentor and lead his compatriot to Santiago Bernabeu. On the other hand, Manchester United will not sell its star so easily. The Red Devils insist not less than 150 million. euro, and for colleagues in Madrid, the amount is too high. That is why Florentino Perez offered Eriksen and Donny van de Beek of Ajax. Zidane, however, was adamant: he only wanted Pogba. His arguments were that the world champion will bring competition, leadership qualities, and a good atmosphere. He also spoke Spanish perfectly, as his wife was from Bolivia. In order to move to Real, however, Pogba will have to significantly reduce his salary and in return, he will sign a contract for six seasons.
Meanwhile, Eriksen, who would have sent 70 million to the Madrid euro, has begun to consider whether to accept Tottenham’s offer for a new contract. His current expires at the end of next season and it was precisely for this reason that the Spanish team was interested in him. London’s new proposal is for 4 years and 6 million. euro per season. So he would equalize in this respect with Hugo Loris and Dele Ali, and only Harry Kain with 8.8 million. euro net will take more
