Eriksen leaves Wolfsburg after another cardiac scare

Christian Eriksen will not continue at Wolfsburg. As L'Équipe reports, the Danish midfielder was released by the club after suffering a new cardiac incident in early June, just three months after his second episode.

The 34-year-old was under contract with the German side until June 2027. Still, as detailed by the source, the club opted to end the deal following the medical scare.

A personal priority

In the same piece, L'Équipe includes Eriksen’s own reasoning: he says he needs to be “close to [his] family”. The article also frames the departure as something he felt had to be his call (“the decision was up to him”, according to L'Équipe).

For Wolfsburg, the timing matters: it leaves them needing to reshape their squad plans after losing an experienced midfielder. Meanwhile, for Eriksen, the focus is clearly now on his recovery and on being surrounded by his closest people.
