Marcus Rashford and Christian Eriksen being eyed by Real Madrid

Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United - Premier League

This is not even the biggest transfer rumour that's being doing the rounds concerning Real Madrid today. But still, this is quite huge a revelation.

According to The Sun, Real Madrid are plotting an audacious £90 million swoop for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford and Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen.

The report claims that Real Madrid representatives were present as Rashford impressed in England's 2-1 victory over Croatia in the UEFA Nations League a couple of days ago.

Los Blancos are also looking at Spurs midfielder Christian Eriksen as a long-term replacement for the ageing Luka Modric.

Real Madrid are expected to bid £50 million for Marcus Rashford and £40 million for Christian Eriksen. However, in today's crazy transfer market, those sums look ridiculously low for 2 players with considerable amounts of talent.
