According to recent reports, Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen is on the radar of several Saudi Pro League teams. The 31-year-old Danish player, who joined the Red Devils in the summer of 2022 after a successful spell at Brentford, has been a key player in the team over the last 18 months.
Despite his significant contribution to Manchester United, Eriksen is currently sidelined due to a knee injury sustained during a game against Luton Town. With 15 games played this season and one goal scored, the Danish midfielder is close to reaching the final 18 months of his contract with the English club, which has led to speculation about his future.
The Saudi Pro League is pushing for Eriksen’s signing
According to journalist Ekrem Konur, several clubs in Saudi Arabia are closely monitoring Eriksen’s situation and could make offers worth almost £17 million (€20 million) for the player. Although Manchester United currently have options in midfield, they are expected to carry out reviews in this area in the upcoming transfer windows.
With Sofyan Amrabat on loan from Fiorentina and Casemiro facing an uncertain future, Manchester United could look to strengthen their midfield. Benfica’s Joao Neves is considered a possible target. Despite reports of possible departures, players such as Scott McTominay and Kobbie Mainoo are considered important in the club’s plans, while Bruno Fernandes has expressed his desire to stay.
Eriksen’s recent injury and contract expiry has put the Danish midfielder in the spotlight of Saudi teams who could be willing to make significant investments to secure his services in the upcoming transfer window.
