Official | Christian Eriksen commences “Bundesliga Adventure” with Wolfsburg | OneFootball

Christian Eriksen’s switch to VfL Wolfsburg on a free transfer has been officially confirmed. Eriksen’s new Bundesliga club officially presented the 33-year-old late Wednesday evening not long after rumors began surfacing in the early afternoon. The 144-times-capped Danish international’s new contract in the Lower Saxon Autostadt runs until 2027.

Eriksen joins five Danish compatriots on Germany’s green company team. All but two of those five players (currently out-of-favor striker Jonas Wind and versatile winger//fullback Joakim Maehle) have been recruited but Wolfsburg’s current Danish managing director Peter Christiansen.

After taking over for the departed Marcel Schäfer in the summer of 2024, Christiansen also brought in winger Andreas Skov Olsen and fullback Mads Roerslev (since departed) during the January 2025 transfer window. Jesper Lindstrøm and Adam Daghim were acquired this summer.

“For me, VfL Wolfsburg is my first stop in the Bundesliga,” Eriksen noted in his introductory statement. “I’m really looking forward to this new adventure. I am convinced that we can achieve something together in Wolfsburg. The fact that there are numerous familiar faces from the Danish national team in the squad makes VfL particularly attractive to me.“

“With Christian Eriksen, we are getting a player who has seen and experienced everything at the highest level,” VfL sporting director Sebastian Schindzielorz added. “His extensive experience will help guide our younger players. Alongside our experienced captain Max Arnold, Christian is another leader who is the perfect addition to our team and can make a difference both on and off the pitch.“
