Following a statement that he was ready to move on from Tottenham, Christian Eriksen was the subject of a prolonged summer transfer saga.
The main club linked to Eriksen was Real Madrid who, along with Barcelona, are understood to be his preferred destination.
At several points over the course of the transfer window, Los Blancos' desire to sign the Dane appeared quite strong. However, Zinedine Zidane was believed to have preferred the club try and sign Paul Pogba fromManchester United – as Andy Murray explained in the lastest FourFourTwo Podcast.
Despite no forthcoming offers from Real Madrid or Barcelona, Manchester United did express a desire to sign Eriksen – but the player is believed to have not been interested in a move to Old Trafford.
Tottenham could begin a reshaping of their squad during the winter window, as Mauricio Pochettino says he seeks to start a "new chapter" in North London.
Though overall, this is believed to mean less spending on new signings and more investment in promising youth players.
