Christian Eriksen has been offered a huge new contract by Tottenham Hotspur as they attempt to keep hold of the midfielder who is considering a move away from north London.

The 27-year-old has one year left on his current deal and has openly said that he is open to a new challenge, with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus all reportedly interested in his services.

However, he also said that it must be a step up and if the right offer does not come in then he is happy to extend his stay at Spurs.

The Champions League finalists are very keen to keep hold of the influential Dane and have offered him a new deal worth £200,000-a-week, reports the Mail Online.




This is a substantial increase from Eriksen’s current contract which sees him pocked £80,000-a-week.

However, it has been made cleat to the hierarchy at Spurs that Eriksen is not making his decision based on wages, but on whether an exciting opportunity arises.

‘I feel that I am a place in my career where I might want to try something new,’ Eriksen told Danish publication Ekstra Bladet in June. ‘I have the wildest and deepest respect for everything that has happened in Tottenham. But I have also said that I would like to try something new.

‘I hope that something will be decided this summer. That is the plan. In football, you never know when there could be a decision like that. It could be at any point. The best thing is always for it to happen quickly but in football things take time.

‘Real Madrid is a step up but then it would take Real Madrid picking up the phone and making contact with Tottenham and say that they want Christian. And that they haven’t done as far as I know.

‘It all depends on [Spurs chairman] Daniel Levy and there has to be another club too. Or I will sit down myself at the table and negotiate a new contract. You can’t set a date yourself. There aren’t many boxes that Tottenham don’t tick so if I have to move away, it would have to be a step up.’

If Eriksen does not sign the huge new deal with Spurs then Levy may look to move him on this summer rather than let him leave on a free next year.
