According to a recent report from Marca, Real Madrid have not given up on their pursuit of Tottenham Hotspur star Christian Eriksen. The Dane has spent what feels like the last few years of his career being heavily linked with a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu, but nothing, up to this point, has quite come of it.
That’s all expected to change sooner rather than later, though, with Real looking into the possibility of offering Eriksen a contract during the January transfer window – at which point he will have just six months left on his deal in North London.
It doesn’t feel as if Tottenham are willing to allow him to leave on a free, but either way, Real are going to try and get the best deal they possibly can.
In terms of negotiations between the two…
Lucas Moura s second-half hat-trick against Ajax sent Tottenham into their first Champions League final.
Mauricio Pochettino s side looked down and out when Hakim Ziyech put Ajax 2-0 up, and 3-0 ahead on aggregate, midway through the first half at Johan Cruijff ArenA, following Matthijs de Ligt s early goal.
But Lucas stepped up, scoring twice in the space of four minutes before incredibly slotting home to make it 3-2 the sixth minute of added time to ensure Tottenham would progress on away goals, and they will now meet Liverpool on June 1.
In the process, Lucas joined some elite company by becoming just the fifth player to score a hat-trick in a Champions League semi-final. Here we look at the quartet who preceded him in achieving that feat.

According to a recent report from Sky Germany, Borussia Dortmund are well and truly convinced that superstar Jadon Sancho is not going to be leaving the club during the upcoming January transfer window.

Stockport boss Dave Challinor always believed his side would be fighting for promotion as the Hatters prepare to face Carlisle in the Sky Bet League Two play-off final.
County are bidding to make it back-to-back promotions on Sunday and booked their place at Wembley after coming from behind to beat Salford 3-1 on penalties after the two sides were locked at 2-2 on aggregate after extra time over two legs.

The 47-year-old admitted they suffered a poor start to the season but never stopped believing h…

It was confirmed last month that Sule would not be signing a new contract with Bayern. His current deal expires at the end of 2021-22.
And despite links to several Premier League and LaLiga clubs, it was revealed on Monday that Sule had agreed to join Bayern s Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund at the end of the campaign.
That decision was questioned by Bayern chairman Herbert Hainer earlier this week, as he queried why Sule would take what he views as a step down rather than go for a potentially more lucrative move to England or Spain.
Nagelsmann, however, has maintained his balanced view of…

Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic continues to attract a lot of attention from clubs across Europe, and according to , there should be a potentially huge race for his signature this summer.
The 25-year-old Serbia international caught the eye the most by putting in an excellent performance as Porto, where he spent 2020-21 on loan, knocked Juventus out of the Champions League in the round of 16. Before that, he had proven himself in the Bundesliga where he spent two years with Hertha Berlin. Now, clubs in Germany and Italy are lining up for a chance to secure his services this summer and remain in regular contact with Liverpool, while Porto obviously have hopes of completing a permanent transfer as well.
