Christian Eriksen’s nightmare with Inter Milan might come to an end soon. According to the club’s CEO Giuseppe Marotta, Eriksen will be free to leave Seria A giants in January.

“Is Eriksen on the market? I’d say so, yes,” said Marotta in a chat with Sky Italy on Thursday.

Since his arrival to Italy in January, Eriksen struggled to settle in with Inter and find playing time under head coach Antonio Conte. This was especially the case this season when he made just four starts while his other appearances were mostly garbage minutes.

According to Marotta, the club is aware that Eriksen isn’t playing as much as he should and is willing to send him elsewhere.

“Obviously, we will need to find a solution,” he added.

Christian Eriksen built a reputation as one of the best midfielders in the game during seven years with Tottenham Spurs, but the fact that the club wasn’t competent enough made him want to leave.

He picked Inter among other suitors, believing he could propel the club over the edge and help them challenge for the Seria A title. Having the 28-year-old star was also reportedly a big wish of Inter president Zhang Kangyang.

However, Antonio Conte wasn’t so high on Eriksen and would often overlook him in favor of less creative but more defensive-minded midfielders. This especially became the case when Conte managed to get one of his favorite players in Arturo Vidal, who immediately became a starter over Eriksen despite his short fuse and other shortcomings.

Eriksen will now look to resurrect his career elsewhere, with Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal being among interested clubs.
