Today is a sad day in Wolfsburg: Christian Eriksen has announced that he is leaving VfL. The club and the Denmark international have agreed to terminate the contract that ran until 2027 ahead of schedule.

Erikssen had been living with an automatic defibrillator for six years, but in June he suffered a relapse of his heart condition during a match between Denmark and Ukraine. He collapsed on the pitch, although he was able to leave the field under his own power.

Although he has been following a rehabilitation program in Denmark, his return to action with Wolfsburg has not materialized since that incident, and he will now have to continue with it.

The player has not announced his retirement.

Erikssen’s farewell letter

Hello, VfL fans,

Right now, it is important for me to be close to my family in Denmark. My time in Wolfsburg was marked by many ups and downs. I know the club is now in good hands to achieve a return to the Bundesliga, and I am convinced that a successful future awaits VfL.

I would like to sincerely thank everyone who supported me at VfL and in Wolfsburg. It has been a great joy to play for you, and I will remember this period very fondly.

Thank you for everything. Christian
