Manchester United are considering a move for Tottenham Hotspur‘s Christian Eriksen, ahead of what is set to be a fraught last week of the transfer window that could well see a merry-go-round.
The Danish playmaker has not yet signed a new contract at White Hart Lane, with his current deal set to run out next year, but his options are diminishing.
Eriksen’s first choice was Real Madrid but they have long cooled their interest, and are moving for Ajax‘s Donny van de Beek.
Juventus have enquired about the Dane, but any move depends on the sale of Paulo Dybala, who is currently reluctant to go to Old Trafford.
That alone illustrates how interdependent so many of these moves are, especially since Sporting Lisbon’s Bruno Fernandes – himself a United target – has been mooted as an Eriksen replacement.
The Old Trafford hierarchy would now favour the Spurs player, however, and are willing to see if he is ready to leave White Hart Lane in this situation. Much will depend on Eriksen’s motivation, especially since Spurs are currently in a much better situation than United, and in the Champions League.
