Madrid want Koulibaly, Eriksen in January?

Real Madrid are allegedly prepared to launch bids for Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen in January.

Real Madrid are reportedly prepared to make big-money offers for Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen during the January transfer window.

While Florentino Perez gave Zinedine Zidane the green light to make several high-profile additions in the summer, Los Blancos are only part of the way through their rebuilding job.

Rather than waiting until the end of the campaign to continue to reshape the squad, reports in Spain suggest that more investment may be made at the beginning of 2020.

Despite being well stocked for central defenders, it is claimed that a bid could be made for Koulibaly, who may cost in the region of £90m.

Eriksen, out of contract next summer, is also said to be a target, with Spurs likely to be open to selling the Denmark international for a figure below his valuation.

With Manchester United's Paul Pogba allegedly a long-term target, Real may have to consider player sales in order to fund all three deals.
