No L1 or Saudi Arabia, Eriksen has chosen his future club
In difficulty at Manchester United this season, Christian Eriksen plans to seek a change of scenery during the upcoming summer transfer window. With a very specific and somewhat surprising dream destination in mind.
Continuing his career in European football after narrowly escaping death following a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020, Christian Eriksen aims to prolong his career for as long as possible. However, the next chapter of his journey is unlikely to involve Manchester United, his current club. A starter last season, the 32-year-old player is no longer a key player for Erik ten Hag’s team this year. Behind the revelation of the season at Manchester United, Kobbie Mainoo, Eriksen, who suffered a setback last November due to a knee injury, has not played in any of United’s last five Premier League matches. Suffice it to say that Eriksen is not satisfied with his playing time at Old Trafford. During the last international break, the Danish player revealed that he was “unhappy” with his situation and admitted to complaining to his coach. Still under contract with United until 2025, Eriksen is expected to request a transfer from his club during the next transfer window. A sale that would not displease his leaders, who are planning a major overhaul of the squad next summer.
Brentford rather than Saudi Arabia for Eriksen?
For Eriksen, the future seems to be unfolding in England. Despite interest from Nice, Ajax Amsterdam – his first major European club between 2009 and 2013 – and lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia or Turkey, the midfielder could surprise everyone. Indeed, according to information from the Danish media Tipsbladet, Eriksen is aiming to return to… Brentford. While he could have seized the opportunity to sign one last big contract abroad to maximize his earnings, the former Tottenham star is instead considering giving back to the club that revived his career after his terrible accident in 2022. A noble gesture that is sure to please the supporters of the west London club, which will always need a talent like Eriksen to survive in the Premier League. Moreover, at Brentford, the midfielder could reunite with familiar faces such as manager Thomas Frank or the midfield duo Norgaard – Jensen.
