New details have emerged from Inter’s financial statements, confirming that they receive a compensation fee from UEFA after Christian Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020.
The Danish midfielder, who has contracted to the Nerazzurri during the time of the incident, suffered a cardiac arrest in the 43rd minute of the Euro 2020 clash against Finland. He recovered and was later fitted with a subcutaneous cardiac defibrillator, something which blocked him from continuing his career in Italy.
Eriksen was released by Inter in December 2021 and joined Brentford on a six-month contract the following January. After that, he joined Manchester United on a free transfer, signing a three-year contract.
As highlighted by Calciomercato.com, UEFA paid Inter around €3m in compensation following Eriksen’s cardiac arrest, receiving the fee because their registered midfielder was playing in a UEFA match when the incident occurred.
The Danish midfielder joined the Nerazzurri in a deal worth around €27m in January 2020, leaving Tottenham after six and a half years. He made 60 appearances across all competitions for the club, being a part of the side that won the Serie A title in 2020-21.
