In a compelling turn of events, Serie A club Roma is said to have targeted former Tottenham Hale midfielder Christian Eriksen. It is expected that Eriksen will be offered a loan move from Inter Milan before the close of the January transfer window.
Both clubs are reportedly in discussions in what could be a remarkable move back to Serie A for the Danish international. This news was confirmed by highly respected sports news outlet ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’. As per this source: “The Roman club is very interested in securing the services of the midfield maestro.”
The idea to bring Eriksen back to Italy was supposedly put forward by Roma’s new manager, Jose Mourinho, who previously worked with him at Tottenham. Eriksen moved to the North London club from Ajax in 2013 and spent seven seasons there before transferring to Inter Milan in January 2020.
Sources indicate that Mourinho has been in touch with Eriksen to discuss a potential return to Italy. Although no official statements have been given, Mourinho is reported by ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’ as saying, “We want to add a player of Eriksen’s stature to our squad. He can greatly enhance our midfield.”
Nonetheless, Inter Milan’s stance on the deal remains unclear. As Eriksen is currently stationed at Inter, they would obviously have to approve this move. In the past, Inter had been reluctant to let Eriksen go given his significant contributions to the club, especially helping the team secure the Serie A title last season.
This potential loan move could mark a significant shift in Eriksen’s career, especially as he continues to recover from his health scare during the Euros this summer.
Eriksen collapsed on the pitch due to a cardiac arrest during Denmark’s opening Euro 2022 game against Finland. However, he has since undergone successful surgery and is recuperating.
In conclusion, the potential loan move to Roma could provide Eriksen with a fresh start, allowing him to regain trust in his physical abilities with the help of familiar faces in a familiar league. As the January transfer window approaches, both Roma and Inter Milan fans will be closely following the developments.
