According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Christian Eriksen is tempted by a return to Ajax, where he could play with a heart defibrillator implanted.
The 29-year-old is unlikely to be given the green light to play in Serie A again after having a heart starter implanted last summer.
In Italy, it’s forbidden to play with a heart defibrillator implanted, as per the Cardiological Organizational Committee for Sports Fitness protocol, which was updated in 2017. Italian authorities do not allow play any contact sport with a heart defibrillator implanted as any contact or hit could break the device.
Eriksen still has a chance to play in Italy, but doctors would need to prove a temporary illness or a virus caused his heart disease.
Eriksen could continue playing in other European divisions, such as the Erediviese, where Ajax and the Netherlands defender Daley Blind plays with a heart starter implanted. According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Inter don’t expect to get any payment for Eriksen, but his exit would allow the Serie A champions to save his €7.5m-a-year salary.
The report specifies that every decision will be taken together with the player and his entourage, with whom Inter are on excellent terms.
