Inter have announced the termination of Christian Eriksen’s contract with an official statement on their website.
“FC Internazionale Milano can confirm that 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,” the statement reads.
“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.”
Eriksen signed with Inter in January 2020, completing a €20m move from Tottenham.
He played 60 games with the Serie A champions, scoring six goals.
The 29-year-old suffered a heart attack and collapsed on the pitch during Denmark’s Euro 2020 opener against Finland in June.
He was given life-saving aid on the pitch and had a heart starter implanted a few days later.
The Dane is not allowed to play or train in Serie A with such a device as any contact or hit could break it.
Inter shared a second message for the Dane on their website and shared a video on social media, looking at the player’s two-year spell at the club.
“We can still remember that moment, of excitement mixed with expectation. When you’re waiting for something you know will be good, you almost want to wait a bit longer so you can enjoy it more,” Inter’s message read.
“28 January 2020: the curtains were raised at La Scala del Calcio, San Siro – the stage where first appearances are always special. And when class met elegance, Christian Eriksen and Inter, it couldn’t be anything but special. There was the Danish maestro weaving his magic in our midfield.

“The thud of the ball striking the bar melted into the ‘ohhh’ of amazement from the Nerazzurri faithful as Christian fired off a rocket free kick from a ridiculous distance, mere centimetres away from glory. From that moment, we knew this was a composer of the finest music.
“We shared moments of class, battles, unexpected goals, like when he scored straight from the corner flag against Napoli, along with a few disappointments, like in the summer of that interminable 2019/20 season, when we went on a magnificent run, only to just miss out.
“Another free kick, another derby, in the Coppa Italia. An iconic moment in Inter’s recent history. A splendid, crucial strike – not just to send us through to the next round, but also to give renewed energy to the story of Christian and Inter, a bond which grew stronger game after game.
“Christian was a key figure in our march to the Scudetto – a team effort which Eriksen contributed to with his vision, intuition, passing, assists and goals, including some big ones. Against Napoli. Against Crotone, in what ultimately cilnched the title. Then another delightful free-kick to celebrate the title at San Siro on the last day of the season.
“That is our final, happy, wistful memory of Christian on the pitch in an Inter shirt. Because sometimes life takes a turn for the unexpected and sends you down a path you didn’t imagine. Every Inter fan, every football fan, looked on in silence, hoping for Christian. Seeing him back in Appiano Gentile with his team-mates, as Italian champions, was a joy to behold and one we will never forget.
“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.
“All the best, Chris!”
According to reports in Italy, Inter are preparing a farewell event at San Siro in February 2022 to let all Nerazzurri fans say goodbye to their former star.
I was crying so badly when he was collapsed because He was my favorite Inter player at that time and I didn’t want something bad happened to him, so my heart was badly broken.. But knowing he can continue playing somewhere else makes me happy, and want to say good luck for his future.. wish him all the best
Best wishes for Eriksen and his Family, such a fine and humble individual. Stay strong! Let’s wish a quick recovery for Kjaer too, both will be forever on my heart,
Classy human, has my utmost respect!
Conte treated him badly, don`t think he deserved those late subs in. But he always behaved professionally.
Glad that he stayed on this planet. Wishing him all the best!
Yeah, Conte only wanted workhorses, imagine inzaghi with erikksen at his disposal. Ooof
calhanoglu is good player but IMO eriksen better and fit perfectly into inzaghi style. the last 6 months conte era, he did great, after struggling earlier on his move to italian league. its sad he couldnt continue playing for inter.
but he can still resumed his career and hopefully he can played for another few more years. many player like daley blind play with defibrillator and still played high level football for ajax, so i think its fine for him too
