The midfielder is not short on options for his next move. Reports suggest he could return to Ajax, where he previously spent six years, though other clubs are also expected to enter the race for his signature.
Eriksen’s career took a dramatic turn in 2021 when he suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch during Denmark’s Euro 2020 match against Finland. After receiving life-saving treatment, he was fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), which led to his departure from Serie A and Inter due to league regulations. He later revived his career with Brentford before securing a move to Manchester United.
Eriksen arrived at United as a free agent in the summer of 2022 after leaving Brentford. Since then, he has made 93 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring seven goals and providing 17 assists.
