Christian Eriksen
Real Madrid are planning January talks with wantaway Tottenham playmaker Christian Eriksen.
Eriksen’s contract is set to expire in 2020 and the Denmark international will be free to sign a pre-contract agreement with clubs outside of England in January.
However, Marca claim Real Madrid are prepared to do a deal with Tottenham to avoid missing out.
It’s said Tottenham would be receptive to talks because Eriksen is uninterested in signing a new contract with the Premier League club.
Paul Pogba alternative
Real Madrid have identified an alternative to Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.
Zinedine Zidane’s side have frequently been linked with the 26-year-old World Cup winning international - but his £150million valuation is proving a stumbling block.
But there’s a Plan B in place.
Spanish reports claim Real Madrid are seeking alternatives and are monitoring Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey.

Neymar price tag
Paris Saint-Germain are prepared to sell Real Madrid target Neymar next summer - but they will not accept a loss.
The Brazilian playmaker was heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, as well as a return to Barcelona over the summer, but the Spanish giants weren’t able to strike a deal with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
Now, El Chiringuito pundit Francisco Buyo claims Al-Khelaifi will sell providing he recovers his investment.
"Al-Khelaifi wants to recover the investment made for Neymar," Buyo said.
The French champions paid Barcelona a world-record £200million for Neymar in 2017.
