The Danish midfielder has been left in limbo while Madrid plough all of their energies into signing Paul Pogba; he's thinking about renewing with Tottenham.
Madrid chasing Pogba
Eriksen is still waiting for Los Blancos to make that phonecall and while he may have a verbal agreement with the Spanish club, the operation has been put on the back burner because Madrid are channelling all of their energies into landing Paul Pogba.
New contract on the table
So it's no surprise that the Danish midfielder is starting to lose patience.
AS understands that Eriksen is now considering hearing what Spurs have to offer him in the way of a new contract.
For Mauricio Pocchetino. Eriksen is a key component in his squad and if the player decides to renew with Spurs, he would be given a substancial pay rise - rising from four to six million euros a year.
The operation to land Eriksen, whose contract expires next summer, would cost Madrid around 70 million euros. Whether he leaves or stays, it's clear that Daniel Levy will not let Eriksen run down his contract and leave on a free in 2020.
