Christian Eriksen is one of the few superstars who'll be out of contract next summer. The Danish international has shown no interest in extending his contract with Tottenham Hotspur and he might well leave the club on a free transfer should he fail to find a club this January. Tottenham boss Daniel Levy who's known for his shrewd dealings in the transfer is trying his best to offload the talented midfielder in this month so that Spurs get some fee which can be reinvested in the transfer market. The newly-appointed boss isn't favouring Eriksen much either, so the Dane might decide to leave the club in January itself in search of more playing time. The versatile attacking midfielder joined Tottenham from Ajax Amsterdam in 2013 and has played a crucial role in making Spurs a genuine contender for the top 4 in the Premier League in recent years.
Here are 3 clubs that might sign Eriksen this January :
#3. Real Madrid
The record 13-time winners of the UEFA Champions League are interested in Eriksen since summer. Both Isco and James Rodriguez have been pretty much off-colour this season for Real Madrid and Eriksen's signing at this point of time would give them the much needed in-form depth in that position. Eriksen is a very versatile player and he can be used on both the flanks alongside a number 10 role. He is comfortable enough to be fielded in a deeper role in the midfield too. This would give Zinedine Zidane a lot of tactical flexibility and unpredictablity on how to field his team on the ground. As Eriksen is into his final 6 months of his contract at Spurs, Real can get him at a cheaper price too and Daniel Levy won't have much room for negotiation as the ball is not in his court right now.
#2. Paris Saint Germain
The big spenders from France are pretty much having an imbalanced squad currently and they lack midfielders with a good amount of attacking flair. Christian Eriksen is a baller, and he can be a very vital addition to Thomas Tuchel's squad in Paris. The German boss could surely do with the services of Eriksen who's way better than Julian Draxler is currently. Eriksen can give Tuchel flexibility on the field as the manager loves to field the team based on opposition and does not stick to any fixed system. Journalist and transfermarket expert Nicolo Schira has reported that Eriksen has rejected a new contract from Tottenham for about €9 million a year till 2024.
PSG sporting director Leonardo has presented the Danish international with a better offer of €12 million a year and a contract till 2025. The offer from France seems better and the kind of ambition they have shown in recent years to become a European stronghold might tempt Eriksen to sign a new contract in Paris by the end of this month.
#1. Inter Milan
The in revival Italian club Inter Milan under Antonio Conte is making their motives clear as they head into the second half of the season. Inter are currently on top of the Serie A with 45 points after 18 matchdays, level with Juventus and ahead of them on goal difference. Inter Milan have been consistently active in the transfer market over the past few seasons to make the club reach it's glorious status once again. All they lacked was a good coach and Antonio Conte has filled in comfortably and has done a great job in his first 6 months at the club.
The club lacks a traditional number 10 in the squad and Eriksen is just the player they need to fill that void in the squad. As per many sections of the media, Inter is the most interested club in the signature of the Danish international this winter and they might very well get his signature soon should they manage to convince him of their project in Italy.
