Tottenham Hotspur will try to convince unsettled midfielder Christian Eriksen to stay at the club beyond the end of this season by offering the Dane a hugely lucrative new contract, but Juventus are waiting in the wings to secure a free transfer in 2020 if he doesn’t sign it.
Eriksen entered the final 12 months of his current Spurs deal this summer and could walk away from the club without a transfer fee at the end of the 2019/20 season.
Manchester United made a late approach in the final week of the Premier League transfer window, calling off the chase when it became apparent that the player was not particularly interested in joining them and was instead holding out for a new challenge further afield.
