Manchester United have been approached by one of Europe’s biggest clubs over the future of one of their midfielders, with early talks taking place ahead of the summer window.
United are expected to be active in the market as they reshape the squad, and several players could be moved on to help fund new arrivals. That has put a number of names on the radar across the continent, especially those who have struggled for regular starts this season.
Inter have made contact to explore the conditions of a possible deal for Christian Eriksen, who is entering the final months of his contract at Old Trafford. The Serie A side are understood to be assessing whether a move is realistic, with United open to listening to offers as they plan for next season.
Eriksen, 31, joined United on a free transfer in 2022 after leaving Brentford and made an immediate impact during his first campaign. His influence has been more limited this term, partly due to competition in midfield and the shift in how United want to play under Erik ten Hag.
While Eriksen remains a popular figure within the squad, United are believed to be weighing up their options. With the midfielder not guaranteed a starting place and his deal nearing its end, a departure—either in the summer or sooner—would not come as a surprise.
Inter’s interest is also linked to the club’s wider squad planning. With the Italian champions continually looking for experience and depth in midfield, Eriksen is seen as a player who could add control and quality, particularly in European matches.
No agreement has been reached and there is nothing advanced at this stage, but the approach underlines the growing expectation that Eriksen’s time in Manchester could be nearing its conclusion. United, for their part, will focus on their on-field targets while keeping an eye on how the situation develops in the coming months.
