Real Madrid faced a massive blow in the current summer transfer window as the Galacticos had to part ways with their talismanic forward Cristiano Ronaldo. The 33-year-old Portuguese ace, who had a disappointing World Cup campaign in Russia, joined the Serie A champions Juventus, leaving a significant void in the Real squad for the next season.
The reigning Champions League winners, somehow, seem to have recovered as they have already put in some stunning shows on the field and have won quite a few matches during their pre-season campaigns against some of the top teams including Juventus. However, their new manager, Julen Lopetegui, should be well aware of the fact that the challenges would be more robust as the new La Liga season begins. He is on the lookout for players who can strengthen his squad further and provide a significant amount of depth to it.
As per latest reports, the 33 time Spanish La Liga winners are looking to bring in Christian Eriksen from Tottenham Hotspur to beef up their midfield. The 26-year-old Danish dazzler is often mentioned as one of the best-attacking midfielders in recent years and has attracted a lot of attention from the big name clubs of Europe. Real Madrid are the latest to join the list, and the reports are indicating that it is possible for Eriksen to ply his trade at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Lopetegui already has two former Tottenham players at his disposal in the form of Gareth Bale and Luka Modric, both being stalwarts of the squad. However, there is a possibility that the Croatian ace might leave Bernabeu this summer as he has been closely linked with a move to Inter Milan. With his compatriot, Mateo Kovacic already departing Real Madrid for Chelsea, there is a possibility that the Spanish manager might make a bid to bring in the Spurs ace this summer.
The 26-year-old has good technique and is one of the coolest and composed characters in the current football scenario. Eriksen has a variety of tricks up his sleeve to get the better of the opposition and a knack for scoring important goals for this Tottenham side. Real Madrid can think of him as a replacement for Luka Modric if the Croatian ace leaves for the Serie A giants this summer.

However, Real Madrid have earlier experience of how difficult it can be to lure a player out of White Hart Lane just because of one man, Daniel Levy. The Tottenham chairman is a hard nut to crack when it comes to the transfer business dealings. So if the Galacticos are going for the Danish star this time, there is a considerable chance that they might have to return empty-handed. Maybe, it is best for Real Madrid to deal with someone who would not ask for over the odds price and then take everything to the final day of the window despite all their demands being met.
