Real Madrid could swoop for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen this summer to get one over their Spanish rivals Barcelona, according to Don Balon.
What’s the word?
Los Blancos are expected to make waves in the transfer market when the season comes to an end, and it seems that Spurs are on their radar.
Don Balon reports that the Bernabeu-based club are planning to swoop for Harry Kane but will also make a move for Eriksen if their rivals Barcelona nab one of their other targets.
The publication states that if the Catalan club swoop for Toby Alderweireld, then Madrid will try to sign Eriksen, who has been linked to Barcelona for some time.
The rumour has suggested that Real president Florentino Perez is the man to select the Tottenham pair as transfer targets.
Could Tottenham lose both?
In this modern age, loyalty is not always common in football and money certainly talks.

Neither Kane nor Eriksen have expressed a desire to leave the North London outfit, but if Madrid come calling, it would be no surprise if their heads were turned.
Tottenham sit in a strong position, though, as both are tied down to long-term contracts, which means that chairman Daniel Levy could demand a staggering fee for the duo.
The businessman has proven in the past that he can be stubborn when it comes to negotiating transfers.
Levy will certainly use that tactic if two of his best players are wanted elsewhere.
