Real Madrid are preparing to offer Tottenham £45m plus up-and-coming midfielder Dani Ceballos in order to land Christian Eriksen.
Eriksen, who has made his feelings clear regarding his desire to leave the north Londoners this summer, has just one year left on his Spurs
Similarly, Ceballos, who is currently in action with Spain's Under-21s, has grown restless with his lack of gametime under Zinedine Zidane, and has been angling for a departure himself - with Mauricio Pochettino's side one of a number of parties interested in a deal.

"But I have also said that I would like to try something new. I hope there will be clarification during the summer, that's the plan."

As of yet, the Premier League side have refused to respond to these comments, and are understood to remain keen on keeping the 26-year-old in London, though the introduction of Ceballos into the fray could be the start of worthwhile negotiations.
