Tottenham names Christian Eriksen on the price list

Tottenham claims £ 130 million for demanding midfielder Christian Eriksen.

Denmark midfielder Eriksen publicly acknowledged yesterday that he wanted to leave White Hart Lane this summer, his heart being turned to Real Madrid.

But Spurs president Daniel Levy is determined to play hard, although he only has one year left for Eriksen.

Tottenham has already mentioned the staggering number to put clubs out of the game. Manchester United is also interested, but Real Madrid is Eriksen's favorite destination.

Levy is a renowned hard negotiator and they see Eriksen at the same level as Eden Hazard and Chelsea require 130 million pounds this summer.

Tottenham is a blow to the publicity for Eriksen, even though they privately expected a saga to take place this summer, while the 27-year-old showed no interest in signing a new contract .

Eriksen, in an interview with the Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet, said: "I feel that I am at a stage in my career where I would like to try something new.

"I have the deepest respect for everything that happens in Tottenham and it would not be negative to stay. But I also said that I would like to try something new.

"I hope something will be decided this summer. That's the plan. In football, you never know when such a decision could be made. It could be anytime. The best thing to do is that everything happens fast, but in football, it takes time.

Real Madrid is known for its admirers of Eriksen while he is looking to rebuild his team with Hazard, his number one priority, but Eriksen is also considered the successor of aging midfielder Luka Modric.

Eriksen added: "Real Madrid is a step forward, but then it would take Real Madrid to pick up the phone, contact Tottenham and say that he wants Christian. And that has not been done as far as I know.

"It all depends on Daniel Levy and there must also be another club. Or I will sit down at the table and negotiate a new contract. You can not set a date yourself. There are not many boxes that Tottenham has not checked, so if I have to leave, it will be a step forward. "

Eriksen admitted that he risked losing his contract if the Spurs did not sell. "It's hard to say," he said.

"It depends on the possibilities. If there are no interesting offers, why should not I stay in Tottenham? If I sign a new contract, it depends on the conditions. "

Eriksen's agent, Martin Schoots, added: "Last season, three clubs – two English and one foreigner – wanted to pay a huge sum to the Spurs. For the club, it was not a forbidden zone and for Christian, it was not a must. I have the impression that we are in a new situation now. "
