Zinedine Zidane and Florentino Pérez
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is considering a move for Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen in January, but manager Zinedine Zidane’s priority remains Manchester United’s Paul Pogba, according to ESPN FC sources.
Zidane
made public his admiration for Pogba, but Madrid were unable to meet United’s
valuation. Eriksen, who hinted at a Spurs exit in the summer, is in the final
year of his contract.
Injuries
in midfield have hampered Madrid this season and sources have told ESPN FC
Perez believes an offer of €30 million for the Denmark international could be
enough to seal the deal in January.
One
potential stumbling block, though, is that Eriksen would prefer a summer move
as he could then request a higher signing-on bonus as there would be no
transfer fee.
However,
according to ESPN FC sources, Zidane still has his heart set on signing Pogba.
Despite
having been told by Perez that United refuse to sell Pogba, Zidane is
unconvinced as he believes his compatriot has a strong desire to make the
switch to the Bernabeu.
Perez is
hoping to convince Zidane the club need to sign a player with Eriksen’s profile
in order to get the deal through in January.
Meanwhile,
Madrid will also be looking to offload players in January with Mariano a player
looking to leave while Brahim Diaz could also go out on loan.
