Italian football club Inter Milan has mutually decided to terminate the contract with Danish footballer Christian Eriksen. The club confirmed this football news with a tweet on their official Twitter account on Friday.
Inter issued an official statement saying that the club and the entire Nerazzurri family wish Eriksen the best of luck for his future. A statement on the club’s official website reads: “Inter can confirm an agreement has been reached to terminate Christian Eriksen’s contract by mutual consent. The club and the entire Nerazzurri family wish Christian all the very best for his future. Although Inter and Christian are now parting ways, the bond shall never be broken. The good times, the goals, the victories, those Scudetto celebrations with fans outside San Siro – all this will remain forever in Nerazzurri history.”
The 29-year-old Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest while playing for Denmark in this year’s Euro Cup. After this, a heart starting device was installed inside him. Eriksen can return to the football field after treatment, but according to the rules, he can no longer play for any club in Italy. Christian Eriksen joined Inter from Tottenham Hotspur in January 2020 and has signed a contract with the club till the year 2024.
🖤💙 | CHRIS
ALL THE BEST, @ChrisEriksen8!

Eriksen’s agent, Martin Schoots, is confident the attacking midfielder will find a new club and be back on the field before too long. He said to La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Let’s see what January will bring us. I’ll say more: two clubs have already called me to find out how he’s doing. And this happened some time ago, when he was still under contract with Inter but was already training on his own, away from the spotlight.”
He added to The Daily Mail: “Things look good. And he is feeling good. All physical results are positive. Christian has his dreams. Christian is doing really well. He has been training himself for months and things are going very well. It was clear that we would work towards this solution for a long time. Italy is simply the only country where as a rule you can’t play with an ICD. So its a pity especially since Chris is so immensely loved by the fans. But on the other hand it’s also positive because Chris now can look at the future with another perspective.”
