It will be interesting to see if Eriksen will remain after this summer.
I believe he has rejuvenated enough (+ his history) to maybe catch a rich team if the transfer fee is low enough ( from what i know, he probably wont want to go back to the epl though), then they might match his wages.
Would it be clever? I read an italian article that pointed out that Eriksen is the most improved player after the winter break after where he was, unexpectedly, giving a new chance. Initially as a Brozovic replacement, but eventually as LCM. The article highlights that the probability of Eriksen to keep improving in his role is very high.
If Brozovic is sold, which i believe will happen, or else he would had gotten a new contract years earlier. We tried to swap him for Parades before the beginning of this season as well. Now he won a scudetto here and has one year left. It makes for him to leave, but who knows. Eriksen-Real DM-Barella would work, more freedom for eriksen and barella.
I think Contes headache in midfield is that he wants/wanted to emulate his Rubentus team. But Brozovic will never be pirlo, Eriksen will never be Pogba (though he is basically being Marchisio), Barella could very well be Vidal.
Alot of people here like De Paul and he is a good player, but i dont think he fits Contes ideal midfield tbh, its too rigid.
So there are 3 scenarios 1. Conte goes to demand a real DMC (kante?) and sticks with eriksen and barella and Brozovic will leave, 2. Brozo gets a new contract and stays DLP, Eriksen is sold and a new LM is made. 3. Brozo is sold, Eriksen is slotted into the dlp role and a new 'heavier' LM is signed.
Either way, im sure one of Eriksen and Brozovic will leave this summer. Just my thoughts will be interesting to see what happens.
