Internazionale and Christian Eriksen are separating immediately, the club announced via the official channels. The Italian champion reports that the two-and-a-half-year contract of the midfielder, who has had a heart box for several months and is therefore not allowed to play football in Italy, has been terminated in agreement with the Danish midfielder. Inter also shared an impressive farewell video on social media.
Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest during the European Championship match between Finland and Denmark last summer. A defibrillator was then fitted to him, but according to the rules of the Italian Football Association you are not allowed to play in Serie A with it. Many other football associations, such as the KNVB, do not apply such rules, which means that, for example, Daley Blind is allowed to play for Ajax with a defibrillator. Eriksen’s return to Amsterdam was previously labeled the ‘most convincing option’ from Italy.
