German Bundesliga side Wolfsburg have confirmed the signing of Denmark international Christian Eriksen on a free transfer, with the midfielder penning a contract until 2027.
Eriksen, 33, had been a free agent following the expiry of his deal with Manchester United earlier this summer.
I’m really looking forward to this new adventure. I’m convinced that together we can make a difference in Wolfsburg,Eriksen said in a club statement.
This move marks the third stop in Eriksen’s career since his cardiac arrest during Denmark’s Euro 2021 clash with Finland. After recovering and being fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), he was forced to leave Inter Milan due to Italian regulations prohibiting athletes from competing with such devices.
He revived his career with an impressive six-month spell at Brentford before joining Manchester United in 2022. While he initially flourished at Old Trafford, his influence waned over time under both Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim, leading to his departure at the end of last season.
A former star at Ajax and Tottenham Hotspur, Eriksen has made 144 appearances for Denmark, scoring 46 goals.
At Wolfsburg, he will join a strong Danish contingent already featuring Joakim Maehle, Jesper Lindstrøm, Andreas Skov Olsen, Jonas Wind, and Adam Daghim.
