Christian Eriksen isn’t having a good time at Inter Milan and this has been repeatedly discussed in Italy and Denmark.
The former Tottenham Hotspur star could leave the San Siro in the winter market and a return to the Premier League has been pushed forward in the past few weeks, with Arsenal and Manchester United discussed as interested parties.
Inter face Shakhtar Donetsk in a crucial Champions League clash and with Antonio Conte left with limited options in midfield due to injuries and the suspension of Arturo Vidal, the 28-year-old is likely to start the European tie.
A source close to the Denmark international has told Calciomercato.it starting against Shakhtar Donetsk wouldn’t ‘erase the discontent’ between the player and the manager. Therefore, ‘nothing changes’ when it comes to looking for a way out of the Serie A side in the winter market.
Giuseppe Marotta viewed Eriksen as a ‘market opportunity’, which is he went ahead and signed him from Spurs, even though his arrival at the San Siro was never requested by the former Chelsea manager.
The player’s current situation will likely ‘lead to a farewell’ in January, and the Gunners get a mention when talking about potential suitors.
It’s claimed Arsenal have joined United, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and even Juventus in continuing to be associated with Eriksen.
Having spent over six years at Tottenham, it’ll be interesting to see whether Eriksen will be open to the idea of moving to the Emirates, if there’s a serious interest in his signing from Mikel Arteta’s side.
