Eriksen to return to Denmark after parting ways with Wolfsburg

Wolfsburg announced that Christian Eriksen was ending his contract early by mutual consent, with the deal due to expire next year.

Eriksen to return to Denmark after parting ways with Wolfsburg

Christian Eriksen, the former Tottenham, Inter Milan, and Manchester United midfielder, will return to Denmark following his departure from Bundesliga 2 side Wolfsburg, according to a statement released on Wednesday. The 34-year-old announced his early contract termination due to mutual consent. Eriksen, who has been recovering from an on-pitch collapse during a friendly match between Denmark and Ukraine in June, was able to leave the pitch voluntarily after receiving medical treatment.

This incident, which also saw him suffer a cardiac arrest and require resuscitation during a Euro 2020 match against Finland five years ago, has led him to prioritize being close to his family in Denmark. The Dane made 34 appearances for Wolfsburg, contributing with 10 assists and scoring three goals since joining as a free agent in September of last year.
