Tottenham Hotspur will make a renewed effort to sell Christian Eriksen in the January transfer window, according to the Evening Standard.
The Dane has reportedly reaffirmed his desire to leave Spurs for a new challenge to Jose Mourinho who had hoped he might change his mind and sign an extension to the contract which expires at the end of the season.
Chairman Daniel Levy is desperate not to lose Eriksen, whom he once valued at around £130m according to The Guardian, on a free transfer so Standard Sport understands he would accept offers of less than £40m.

Real Madrid has long been Eriksen’s touted destination while Standard Sport adds that Atletico Madrid and Juventus are also in the running.
Only that competition for Eriksen’s signature could prompt a January cash offer when the 27-year-old could be picked up for nothing in the summer.
I would suspect Eriksen would be hesitant to commit to any club in January that was not Real, in case Los Blancos come calling once he is a free agent.
So, realistically, only Real can now save us from this costly mistake.

It’s always the fans that suffer.
Exactly what I’d do😂😂😂
He’ll wait until the summer just to stuff Levy.Then he’ll turn it on for Denmark in the Euros.
Dele Kane and son worth more than arsenals squad😁😂
This is why it’s madness. Favouring an underperforming player who wants out over a younger, recently acquired quality option, desperate for game time. The whole situation stinks to high heaven.
Just want him out now. He ran down his low money contract and now wants a big signing on fee at his next club to make up for it. Can’t blame him really. Just go man.
Celly for £40 in January. Snip. Can’t see levy letting this one go. Could double that in one decent season. He’s a natural footballer.
But we still need to replace Eriksen.Is it going to be a Levy cheap punt,hoping everything comes good?And would Mourinho deal with that?
Eriksen had his chances he has to look at himself. Personally i would want to win at every club i sign or i would feel failure. A champions league final. League cup final. Two title races he went missing against the likes of spam and newcastle.. Its no coincidence he NEVER showed up when we really needed him.. Not everyone are born winners. Only the best have the minerals upstairs… Verts i thought always puts in the effort. Hes still in prime.. And tobys still very good, but not as good as two years back. Sanchez been mopping up for him recently
It’s complete madness. Makes me wonder if Levy ever had any intention of making the Lo Celso deal permanent. Or maybe he sees a chance to save a few quid now Poch has gone.
Can imagine in training Kane&Dele working on the old one twos. (near the bloody goal) 🎼 we’ve got harryyyy harry and deleeeee I just don’t think you understand. COYS
The Mail was running with a story the other day that Lo Celso wants out as soon as possible because of lack of game time.Knowing now Eriksen’s stance Mourinho still appears not to fancy Gio.
Best we can hope for is a swap deal with a player in a similarly untenable position. Bale…?
I have to put that Bayern Munich mauling behind me. I really wish I wasn’t at the game. Poch looking like a little lamb lost in a big field.
Could say that about a few others but they’ll have a chance to make up for it. CE won’t so “ef him
I hear CE stopped trying coz Jan and his clan did. Who knows what happened there. Erikson must see his whole time at Tottenham as a complete waste of time. Nothing gained. I can’t forgive any player for downing tools whilst working for me (a fan) ef him!
40 mil for someone that is free in the summer , even by Levy standards that is funny for all the wrong reasons.
I hope Mourinho gives Lo Celso a run now he knows where he stands with Eriksen. Shop window ain’t working, so give Christian a sturdy parachute, and dump him out of a plane somewhere over the Med. Thanks for the memories and all that.
Failure to play Gio’ means he’s probably going back to Betis in January.
As well as being a serial snowflake, the great pain can’t be very clever… He wanted to go for his new challenge, when no big club wanted him he suddenly claims there is ‘nothing bad’ about staying at spurs… Not for him maybe.. Top joker our chris
Real wont buy CE will ZZ’s job is on the line. I would say CE is going for free – at this point I wouldn’t let him 100yrds of the first team or training facility. He wants to go, put him gardening leave.
