Denmark midfielder Eriksen leaves Wolfsburg by mutual consent

Christian Eriksen has officially left VfL Wolfsburg by mutual agreement, after three months of playing for the German second-tier club. The 34-year-old Denmark midfielder, who was under contract with the team until June 2027, requested an early exit to return home to Denmark and be closer to his family. Eriksen, who has not played a competitive match since June, experienced a collapse during Denmark's match against Ukraine, five years after suffering a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020.

In a club statement, Eriksen expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to be closer to his family in Denmark and emphasized that the decision was a mutual one. Wolfsburg managing director Dieter Hecking stated that Eriksen's departure was entirely up to the veteran playmaker, who made 34 appearances for the club during his single season. Eriksen joined Wolfsburg as a free agent last year from Manchester United.
