Courted by Real Madrid but retained by Tottenham, Christian Eriksen spoke and finally took a stand. The Danish international has desires elsewhere and he hopes to be listened to by Daniel Levy, the president of the Spurs.

Christian Eriksen announces he is ready to leave Tottenham!

Last Friday, on the sidelines of the Champions League final between Liverpool and Tottenham (won by the Reds 2-0) in Madrid, the Presidents of Spurs and Real Madrid dined together, and they probably took the opportunity to address several topics concerning the mercato, including one mainly, the future of Christian Eriksen. The people of Madrid want to sign the Dane this summer, against a check of about 90 M €, but El Confidencial reveals that Daniel Levy, the president of Tottenham, categorically refuses to let Eriksen leave, under contract until 2020 in the club London .


He wants to prolong the 27-year-old, who could play a vital role in the future of Mauricio Pochettino, as he has hinted that he will remain on Tottenham's bench only if efforts are made in the transfer market. While Eriksen has already twice refused offers of extension of contract from its leaders, Daniel Levy could decide to return to the charge and substantially increase the transfer of the Dane, to extend his lease. Yes but now, Eriksen, not one to express himself publicly about his future, this time clearly exposed his point of view, relayed by Ekstra Bladet.

Eriksen takes a stand


"I think I'm at a point in my career where I may want to try something new. I have the greatest and deepest respect for Tottenham and staying there would not be negative. That said, I would like to try something new, "he said. "I hope there will be a clarification during the summer. This is the plan. In football, you never know when it happens, it can happen at any time. Everyone hopes that this happens as soon as possible, but sometimes it takes time, "he continued, before putting even more pressure on his president, quoting Real Madrid.

"It depends on Daniel Levy. And a club that would be interested. There are not many things that Tottenham does not have. If I ever go, it's to go up a step. But Real Madrid must call Tottenham to say he wants Christian. And they have not done so far to my knowledge, "he slipped. Real Madrid, who had spent a lot of time to find an agreement with Daniel Levy during the transfer of Gareth Bale, has the cards in hand in this case. While the Spanish press evokes disagreements internally (the Merengue leadership would favor Eriksen when Zidane pushes for Pogba), Eriksen took a stand. At 27 and after 6 years in Tottenham, he wants a new challenge.
