- Christian Eriksen has left German club Wolfsburg by mutual consent three months after collapsing during an international friendly while playing for Denmark.
- The 34-year-old midfielder's departure comes after his implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) delivered a corrective shock during a match against Ukraine in June, five years after he suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020.
- Eriksen requested the early termination of his contract, which was scheduled to run until June 2027, expressing a desire to return to Denmark to be close to his family.
- During his single season at Wolfsburg, Eriksen made 34 appearances as club captain, scoring three goals and providing 10 assists, though the team ultimately suffered relegation from the top flight.
- Wolfsburg managing director Dieter Hecking thanked Eriksen for his lasting impression on the club, explaining that the hierarchy fully supported his request to prioritise his personal life and decide his own future.
