Christian Eriksen's admission about his future has prompted a massive reaction from Tottenham Hotspur supporters.
The Denmark international will be out of contract at the new Tottenham stadium at the end of next season, so this summer could potentially be Spurs' last chance to command a fee for the attacking midfielder.
And amid talk of a move to Real Madrid, Eriksen has hinted at leaving the north London outfit during the summer transfer window.
"I have the wildest and deepest respect for everything that has happened in Tottenham, nor will it be negative. But I have also said that I would like to try something new," he told Ekstrabladet .
"I hope there will be a clarification during the summer. That's the plan. In football you do not know when a clarification comes. It can happen anytime. Everyone wants it best if it happens as soon as possible, but in football takes things time.
"It depends on Daniel Levy and another club has to come. Or I have to sit down at the table and negotiate a new contract. You can't set a date yourself.
"There are not many points that Tottenham cannot meet. If I have to go, then hopefully it will be a step up."
Speaking specifically about the widely-reported interest from Real Madrid, the Denmark international added:
"It's a step up. But it requires Real Madrid to call Tottenham and say they want Christian. And they have not done so yet, as far as I know.
"It is hard. It depends on the possibilities. If nothing pops up that is more exciting, why not stay in Tottenham?
"If I then sign a new contract, depends on the conditions."
However, judging by the reaction on social media it would appear that not all Spurs fans are happy with this development.
