Report: Spurs' £106 million valuation of 27-year-old puts off suitors - originally posted on Sportslens.com
According to Sport, Real Madrid have cooled their interest in the services of Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen after the London club slapped a hefty £106 million price on his head.
The Spanish giants are only willing to pay £66 million for the 27-year-old as president Florentino Perez believes he isn’t worth a fee only usually reserved for ‘galaticos’.
Madrid just splashed £88.5 million, which could rise to £130 million in add-ons, on Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, and could pull out of the Eriksen deal as manager Zinedine Zidane has a preference for Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.
The Denmark international has just a year left on his current deal at Tottenham, and recently declared he wants to leave for a new challenge, with the Santiago Bernabeu his preferred destination.
However, he could now be forced to sign an improved deal worth more than double his current £70,000-a-week wages, or wait till next summer before leaving.
Madrid will consider the latter, but are also planning to let the move cool down and come back at a later date when Spurs could have no choice but to lower their asking price.
