Neither Atletico nor Real Madrid are thought to be interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen, having prioritised other targets.

Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are reportedly not interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen.

Real Madrid are thought to be prioritising the purchase of Manchester United's Paul Pogba, with Ajax's Donny van de Beek an alternative as they seek a more mobile option in the centre of the park, with Luka Modric the wrong side of 30 and concerns over Toni Kroos's pace.

Meanwhile, Los Blancos' city rivals Atletico are planning to prise James Rodriguez from their neighbours after Bayern Munich opted not to make his two-year loan spell permanent.

According to The Evening Standard, the Rojiblancos' interest is more to do with the Colombian playmaker's brand value than needing his on-field talents, something Eriksen cannot match up to.

The Dane has just one year left on his contract and Spurs are keen to avoid losing him for nothing next summer.

However, the 27-year-old has reportedly rejected a move to Premier League rivals Manchester United, having done so in the hope of a dream move to Spain.
