'I feel I am at a place where I want to try something new': Christian Eriksen confirms he wants to leave Tottenham this summer Christian Eriksen has confirmed that he wants to leave Tottenham this summer The Danish playmaker is about to enter the final year of his contract Eriksen has spent six years with Spurs but is now seeking a new challenge Real Madrid are keen on the 27-year-old but have baulked at his asking price By Adrian Kajumba For Mailonline Published: 10:32 BST, 5 June 2019 | Updated: 10:47 BST, 5 June 2019 2 Viewcomments Christian Eriksen has confirmed he wants to leave Tottenham this summer 'to try something new.' Danish playmaker Eriksen had been keen to focus on Spurs's finish to the season, which ended with Saturday's Champions League final defeat to Liverpool, while talk about his future continued. But he has now broken his silence on his future as he prepares to enter the final year of his contract. Danish playmaker Christian Eriksen has confirmed he wants to leave Tottenham this summer The midfielder is about to enter the final year of his contract after six seasons with Spurs Spurs have been unable to tie Eriksen down to a new deal and the 27 year-old feels the time has come to move on after six seasons in north London. He said: 'I feel that I am at a place in my career where I might want to try something new. 'I have the wildest and deepest respect for everything that has happened in Tottenham, nor will it be negative. But I have also said that I would like to try something new.' Real Madrid are keen on Eriksen as part of their huge summer rebuild while there has also been interest from Manchester United. Sportsmail reported in April about how Madrid have baulked at Spurs chairman Daniel Levy's hefty £130m price tag for Eriksen. And as they were reluctant to get drawn into protracted discussions with feared negotiator Levy they wanted Eriksen to push for a move to help bring the cost of a deal down. Real Madrid are interested in the 27-year-old but have so far balked at his asking price Eriksen's admission that his preference is to sort out a move this summer will no doubt be noted by the big-spending Spanish giants. He added: 'I hope there will be a clarification during the summer. That's the plan. In football you do not know when a clarification comes. It can happen anytime. Everyone wants it best if it happens as soon as possible, but in football takes things time. 'It depends on Daniel Levy. And another club has to come. 'There are not many points that Tottenham cannot meet. If I have to go, then hopefully it will be a step up. It's a step up. 'But it requires Real Madrid to call Tottenham and say they want Christian. And they have not done so yet, as far as I know.'
