And his contract situation is down to who? If Eriksen wants Real and Real only he is going to be dissappointed, Zidane wants Pogba and will get him, probably not now but definitely next summer, Barca want Neymar, Juve don't need him but would probaly pick him up on a free as this seems to be their MO right now.

Football situations can change every minute. Who knows, maybe by next year Poch is Real manager and taking Eriksen on a free. Sounds cruel but you can not rule it out.

I just hope we find a solution with a new contract. I would be fine with a pretty low release clause for Real only. If that is the issue...

I think we're all being a bit naive about Eriksen's and Madrid's motivations/plans at the moment.

I think Eriksen wants to make himself look as attractive as he can to Madrid, that means making himself a free agent, I would probably go with he knows what Perez will offer him, that doesn't mean ZZ wants him.

Not sure that ZZ gets what he wants any more; especially after the Bale debacle.

So why no bids?
Because the clubs who he'd be open to moving to aren't interested in paying for him right now? I don't see how this is related to the fact that Eriksen would clearly rather join RM (or a similar level club) this summer than next.

Has anybody come up with a definitive answer about the Bosman ruling. If we leave the EU in October with no deal and no guarantee of EU citizens rights in the UK , will ECJ rulings i.e Bosman still apply in the UK . If they don't apply then under the old system Spurs should be able to get a transfer fee for players out of contract i.e Eriksen & Toby.
Answers only please from qualified lawyers.

I think it's within the realm of possibility that he will eventually sign a new contract. I take him at his word from that infamous interview when he said that if his desired move didn't come off he'd sit down and negotiate a new deal. There has been ITK and reporting from journalists close to the club that there is optimism that he'll sign a new contract, so his camp must be giving some positive signals.

It seems increasingly unlikely to me that Madrid will come in for him. Zidane obviously wants to keep his powder dry for an eventual approach for Pogba. There's not been a single reliable report for many weeks now that Eriksen is anywhere on his list of desired signings, and the club gave a media briefing yesterday stating that Zidane has been impressed by James and is now counting on him for an important role this season. Even if they were to make a signing for the position he'd fill, Van de Beek has been much more strongly linked with a move than Eriksen.

Of course everything could change if Madrid are humiliated in their first two matches and Eriksen continues to put in masterclass performances, but for the time being I think we're fairly safe. The big question is whether he still feels the way he did at the beginning of the window with regard to staying at Spurs in the long term, but if the ITK that he was on the verge of signing a new contract before being strung along by Madrid is accurate then that would seem to indicate that he does.

Aren't workers' rights one of the things that is meant to be protected? I assume that would include this.

ECJ and EU aren’t the same thing.

Are you sure about that..., Bosman law was an ECJ ruling applied across all EU states , if we are no longer in the EU and do not apply ECJ rulings after leaving then Bosman will no longer apply to UK football clubs. The whole agreement between the EU and May was to ensure EU citizens rights were upheld but the current circus in control of UK has consistently criticised the ECJ and parliament has rejected May's deal several times which did protect rights of UK citizens abroad and EU citizens here so at the moment we are in limbo.
How this is going to apply to Eriksen etc when we do leave it seems no one has the answer.

"The European Court of Justice, officially just the Court of Justice, is the supreme court of the European Union in matters of European Union law. As a part of the Court of Justice of the European Union it is tasked with interpreting EU law and ensuring its equal application across all EU member states. "

feel if the team can lay down a big performance of intent and ambition against city, he can be convinced to sign back on.

No government is going to send 60%(?) of the premiership players back to europe - whatever the rights and wrongs of it, they'd lose votes.
And the EU laws are just being copied over - there will not be time for too much fiddling about with Bosman rulings.

In the future, when the legal systems deviate, it would be an odd arrangement where we could get european players for free at the end of their contracts, but the EU clubs would have to pay up for ours through arbitration say.
But a player worth £100m being able to just walk away is also a pretty odd arrangement. What Eriksen is doing doesn't seem very ethical to me.

Worst player on the pitch today. His "influence" last week was so overrated. If he's pressed and harried he just plays a first time back to the receiver.

Completely useless when pressed with his back towards opposition goal. Which is why he is not good enough for the likes of Barca or Real. But good luck to him trying his best to not even bruise a toe getting there.
