Wolfsburg and Eriksen agree to end contract early

VfL Wolfsburg and Christian Eriksen have agreed to end the midfielder’s contract early by mutual consent, making the 34-year-old a free agent. The club said it granted Eriksen’s request to terminate the deal, which was due to run until June 2027. Eriksen said he wanted to be close to his family in Denmark. The agreement was announced Wednesday. Eriksen joined Wolfsburg in September 2025 and made 34 appearances, scoring three goals. Reports differ on his assist total: most give 10, while one gives nine. Wolfsburg managing director of sport Dieter Hecking said the decision about Eriksen’s future was his to make and that the club had agreed to his request. Eriksen has not played since collapsing during Denmark’s friendly against Ukraine in June, according to the reports. The supplied accounts do not establish when or whether he will return to football. In a statement, Eriksen said it was important to be near his family in Denmark and described his time at Wolfsburg as having highs and lows. He also thanked the club and those who supported him. Hecking said Eriksen had made a lasting impression on teammates, staff and fans despite his short time at the club.
