Inter have reached an agreement in principle with Christian Eriksen and are now at work trying to get his current employers Tottenham Hotspur to drop their demands according to a report in today’s print edition of Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Danish playmaker has agreed to a four and a half year deal with an annual net salary of €7.5 million with the Nerazzurri, who do not wish to spend any more than €10 million on signing him from Spurs.

Spurs continue to demand €20 million for the 27-year-old, with them desperate to get as much as they possibly can for the former Ajax man, given his contract with the club is due to expire at the end of this season meaning they will lose him for nothing in the Summer if they fail to offload him this month.

The report from the Milan based newspaper goes on to state that the work Eriksen’s agent Martin Schoots does will be especially important toward Inter’s chances of getting a discount on him.
