Eriksen on the move?

Christian Eriksen's future at Tottenham is in serious doubt after a breakdown in the relationship between chairman Daniel Levy and the player's agent.

Eriksen has only 12 months left on his contract at Spurs and while he is keen to move to either Real Madrid or Barcelona, it is though the La Liga clubs would prefer to wait until his contract expires and he becomes available on a free transfer. 

Eriksen did not start Tottenham's 1-0 defeat by Newcastle on the weekend as doubts over his situation linger, and Mauricio Pochettino will be desperate to resolve the case as soon as possible.

It is reported that Inter do not have an option to buy Sanchez at the end of the loan period, as United still believe they can make a healthy sale on the player who is contract until 2020.
