TOP STORY: Real Madrid join clubs keen on Damsgaard
Real Madrid have joined a long list of suitors for Denmark star Mikkel Damsgaard, according to Tuttosport. The 21-year-old winger made five appearances at Euro 2020, opening the scoring in his side's 2-1 loss to England in the semifinal with a fantastic free kick.
Sampdoria are hoping to keep a hold of him for another year before letting him leave for a transfer fee of around â¬40 million. However, there could be a large-scale tug-of-war for his services this summer. As well as Madrid, Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Everton, Leeds United, Leicester City, AC Milan, Internazionale, Juventus and AS Roma all have interest in the former Nordsjaelland prodigy.
Damsgaard joined Sampdoria from the Danish club in 2020 for a reported â¬8m and has made 35 Serie A appearances.
If the Serie A side were to lose the Denmark talisman, they are said to be interested in Celtic's Ryan Christie as a replacement. The 26-year-old only has a year left on his deal with the Scottish club, meaning they could be forced to move him on before they lose him on a free transfer next summer. Christie, much like Damsgaard, has been linked with many clubs across Europe this summer.
