Christian Eriksen Leaves Inter Milan

Christian Eriksen has ended his contract with Inter Milan by mutual consent.

The 29-year-old has been fitted with a pacemaker, ruling him out of playing in Italian football, but leaving the door open in other championships.

“Inter and Christian Eriksen have decided to terminate the current contract by mutual consent, as he’s officially not allowed to play in Serie A with defibrillator,” the Italian club said.

Eriksen helped Inter win last season’s Serie A title but the following month he suffered a cardiac arrest during Denmark’s Euro 2020 opener against Finland in June.

The attacking midfielder received life-saving treatment on the pitch before he was rushed to the hospital and was fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) device.

Eriksen will now be free to consider his options with other potential clubs, and has recently been in training with his boyhood club Odense.
