"At this moment, it is important for me to be close to my family in Denmark. I am pleased that we have been able to find a solution together. My time at Wolfsburg has had its ups and downs. I know the club is now in good hands as it works to return to the Bundesliga, and I am convinced that a successful future awaits VfL."

"I would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who has supported me during my time at VfL and in Wolfsburg. It has been a great pleasure playing for you, and I will look back on this period with great fondness," says Eriksen.

Christian Eriksen and Wolfsburg have agreed to terminate the Dane's contract, which originally ran until June 30, 2027.

The Danish national team legend has not played a football match since collapsing on the pitch during Denmark's friendly match against Ukraine on 7 June earlier this year.
