after 4 seasons of hardly missing a match, perhaps he would be happy to have a few seasons being rotated.
with the money RM have spent this season even if they where very interested they can't spend much more without selling a few, and knowing he only has 1 year left leaves them in a strong position. Levy has to decide to let him go for a lot lower fee, or pay a player that will take up a squad place, and might not give the effort required, though if we get Lo Celso and Ceballos then he will have to step up his game to get in the 18.
the annoying thing is, so many have moaned about him last season, yet he played a massive part and had a good record on the assist and goals column that got us 4th
I don't mind they way RM is approaching this transfer, it is more the desperation of Eriksen wanting to join a team that seems hardly interested and is 100% their back up plan if they fail to land their primary target that is Pogba. You barely even hear any stories from AS and Marca, RM's mouthpiece pushing for this transfer.
Modric walked into their starting 11 and so did Bale, if Eriksen ends up joining he will most likely be a rotation player due to their insane midfield depth. What sort of mentality does a player have to have to go from being the center piece of CL finalist to then be contempt with a rotation role. He is basically forfeiting legend status for us and the EPL to be just another player in RM that is going to be discarded as just another star player that played for them without making a dent on their illustrious history.
EDIT. Quted wrong person.
