Christian Eriksen is at the centre of a tug of war between Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane and president Florentino Perez.
The Danish international, who only has a year left to run on his contract, admitted earlier this month that he was ready to take up a new challenge.
It was generally seen as a come-and-get-me plea to Real Madrid but his dream move is now hanging by a thread.
French legend Zidane wants to link up with his countryman, Manchester United’s Paul Pogba, who has set his heart on a move to the Spanish giants.
Perez favours making a move for a cheaper option Eriksen.
