Tottenham Demands 80 for Christian Eriksen

Is he worth that much? Real Madrid seems to be interested in including a recently rising star Danish attacking midfielder Christian Eriksen, who currently plays for Tottenham Hotspur. Amid the loss from Liverpool on UEFA Champions League, Christian Eriksen stated to the media that he is open for transfer talks.

Real Madrid was one of the best candidates to buy this player. After their disastrous season, Zinedine Zidane certainly wants to bolster the team with fresh feet on the pitch.

Zidane was evidently unimpressed by Luka Modrid, current holder of Balloon d’Or, whose performance fell after 2018 World Cup finals. Real Madrid is desperate for a midfielder currently as their midfielders seem to lack spirit.

This revamping initiative involves a recent announcement of Luka Jovic from Eintracht Frankfurt, and the coming player from Chelsea, Eden Hazard.

Of course, The Lily Whites does not want to miss the chance. Concerning the rising performance of the Danish, they demand quite an astronomical price for the 27 years old midfielder: £80 million!

In 2013, Eriksen was transferred from Ajax Amsterdam with £11 million. Since then, he has played 206 times with 49 balls kicked into the net.

Look how he has grown now into one of the best players in English Premier League and the whole Europe, thanks to Mauricio Pochettino’s iron fist.

If Real Madrid wants to revise its whole squad, then this price is reasonable. Christian Eriksen was dubbed to be one of the key players who led Hotspur to the UCL Finals. Nonetheless, reportedly, Real Madrid wanted to bargain. Hailing Eden Hazard to the club itself has drained their bank quite significantly.
