Manchester United are expected to lose Christian Eriksen for nothing, with the player attracting interest from Ajax over a potential reunion.
During the summer transfer window, United seemed keen to offload the Denmark international to make some profit on the player who had entered the final year of his contract. The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming the Mancunian giants could allow Eriksen “to leave for €5m.”
However, the 32-year-old remained at Old Trafford, and has surprisingly emerged as one of Erik ten Hag’s best performing players this season.
The Dutchman has largely overlooked both Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte for Eriksen, having handed him eight appearances across all competitions so far.
The former Tottenham Hotspur man’s technical security in possession has come in handy for the side who consistently struggle to control the tempo of the game. He has also been directly involved in six goals.
Despite his resurgence in form, United chiefs are “not expected” to give him a new deal, claims The Sun.
The midfielder will be free to leave in the summer of 2025 and negotiate a pre-contract agreement with clubs outside England come January 1.
Eriksen, who joined United from Brentford in 2022, is understood to be in “high demand” and his former club Ajax “lead the way in trying to sign him.”
The Dane is a product of Ajax’s famed academy and made over 100 senior appearances for the Dutch giants before moving to England to play for Spurs.
His former club are keeping an eye on his situation and could reportedly be prepared to hand him a three-year deal, potentially allowing him to finish his career where it all started.
Eriksen has also attracted interest from clubs in America and Saudi Arabia but it is claimed the idea of a “fairytale return” to Amsterdam is tempting for him.
Ajax, keen to beat the competition for his signature, are looking to find an agreement with Eriksen in the New Year ahead of a summer switch.
