The Spanish La-Liga Billionaire Club REAL MADRID have serious competition from their English counterparts Manchester City and Chelsea in their chase of Christian Eriksen, according to reports.
Los Blancos are keen to bring the Tottenham playmaker, 26, to the Bernabeu and are believed to be his preferred option.
But AS claim a source close to the player has told them there are more clubs in the mix, with the Citizens and Blues especially keen.
The source is quoted as saying: “It’s hard to name just one particular top-level club who are keeping a close eye on him because there are sides from England, Spain, Italy and Germany.”
Eriksen has just 18 months remaining on his contract and little progress has been made with talks.
Mauricio Pochettino and Daniel Levy do not want to lose one of their top assets but run the risk of losing him for nothing.
And while it is hugely unlikely they will flog him mid-season, a summer sale may be necessary to cash in as players entering the last year of their contracts dramatically lose their value.
Eriksen moved to White Hart Lane from Ajax in 2013 and has come on leaps and bounds since.
The 85-cap Denmark international is in demand and despite his deal running down could be worth as much as £100million.
Former Spurs stars Gareth Bale and Luka Modric have both excelled at the Bernabeu, while Pochettino could also end up in the Spanish capital one day.
