After six years with the club, the 27-year-old announced his intention to seek a ‘new challenge’ at the beginning of the summer.
The Daily Mail reported that Real Madrid was one of the potential locations the Denmark international mentioned, with Eriksen apparently claiming Los Blancos to be a ‘step up.’
However, while the admiration was clearly there, Madrid were busy focusing on recruiting the likes of Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic, Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy and Rodrygo, a haul estimated to be in the region on £276m – hence the predicament Tottenham and Eriksen currently find themselves in.
With Eriksen’s contract due to expire at the end of the season, other clubs will have the opportunity to sign him on a Bosman deal, that is – for free, and United, who are currently juggling their own wantaway midfielder in Paul Pogba, who also claimed to be in search of new challenges at the beginning of the summer, may choose to pick up from where they left in the summer – despite apparently cooling their interesting due to the player’s desire to move to Spain.
Speaking about Eriksen’s future, Neville said: “He’s acting like a kid who didn’t get the sweets he wanted in the shop.
“He wanted to go to a club, and he didn’t get what he wanted.”
When asked whether top clubs would still be interested in his, particularly United, the Old Trafford legend claimed: “absolutely – they’d take him tomorrow.”
