Manchester United the latest club to join Eriksen hunt
Posted Sunday, April 14, 2019 by ESPN
Tottenham Hotspur playmaker Christian Eriksen has emerged as one of Manchester United's prime transfer targets this summer, according to reports in The Mirror.
Denmark captain Eriksen has just 14 months remaining on his contract at Spurs, meaning his transfer fee could tumble if he enters the final year of his deal. That has alerted some of Europe's most prestigious clubs, but United appear set to steal a march on their rivals by offering to treble the 27-year-old's wages to a whopping £240,000 a week, compared to the £80,000 a week he currently picks up in north London.
Eriksen grew up supporting Real Madrid, and there is talk that he would prefer a move to the Bernabeu to play under manager Zinedine Zidane, but with Los Blancos currently prioritizing a move for Chelsea forward Eden Hazard, a move to Old Trafford is becoming increasingly likely.
Despite Eriksen's precarious contract situation, reports claim it would still take a fee of up to £95 million for Spurs to consider selling their chief playmaker.
