Spanish journalist Alvaro Montero has been talking to Sky Sports News about Real Madrid’s summer transfer activity, starting with their reported move for Spurs midfielder Christian Eriksen.
“There’s a big problem in Real Madrid right now. Of course, Eden Hazard was Real Madrid’s, Zinedine Zidane and Florentino Perez’s goal for his sixth season after three years.
“But there’s a huge problem with Eriksen, because Eriksen is the kind of player like Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, that Real Madrid sporting director Jose Angel Sanchez and Florentino Perez like, but not Zidane.
“Zidane’s goal for the next season, as it was three years ago, is Paul Pogba. The thing is, Eriksen seems to be cheaper and seems to be a better fit for Real Madrid for their kind of playing.
“If I had to bet right now, I would say Eriksen is easier for Real Madrid to get because Florentino Perez wants him. It’s easier for Real Madrid to negotiate with Tottenham and Daniel Levy, and pay those 90-100m euros.”
