There's every chance that a compromise will occur this season. We'll throw Eriksen a massive payrise on a 2-3 year deal and allow a reasonable release clause. He gets a payday. We get a fee if he leaves, and he isn't locked down forever. If someone really wants him they'll pay market value.
I would be really shocked if Eriksen has been passing on considerable payrises at Spurs and gambling his career with non-injury to run his contract down to get a free move to Serie A. His eye's on Barca / Real, and they have the cash if they want him.
