Only a year has passed, but a lifetime seems to have passed: 12 months ago these days the negotiation that would have led to Christian Eriksen from Tottenham to Inter. A blow that ignited the enthusiasm of the Nerazzurri fans, ready to welcome a superfine talented champion. Today the situation is completely different: the Danish midfielder is out of Inter’s projects and has been publicly put at the door, considered not functional for Conte’s tactical ideas and a weight from the point of view of the budget. To make the climate even worse, Martin Schoots, the player’s agent, who has decided to sue the club for non-payment of his services.
The Corriere dello Sport remember: “The Nerazzurri club relied on him to carry out negotiations with the Spurs. He gave him an official mandate, which was in fact completed. Eriksen, therefore, landed in Milan, complete with a celebratory film at La Scala, while Tottenham agreed to let him go early for just under 20 million euros. The total commissions for the deal amounted to another 7 abundant, 7.566.797 to be precise“.
HIGH VOLTAGE – “There is a concrete suspicion that the agent took this path also due to the situation that has arisen around Eriksen. Were it not on the market, one would think that Schoots might have used more diplomacy. Instead, after working to bring his client to Inter, now he finds himself having to find him a new accommodation. Obviously, if relations between Conte and the Dane cannot be idyllic for technical reasons, neither must those between his agent and the Nerazzurri management.“.
SITUATION BLOCKED – “The result is that, for Inter, the problems multiply. The latest turn in events, in fact, cannot facilitate the search for another team for the midfielder, who, to date, it has no real offers to examine. […] He may have played for almost half an hour last Wednesday with Sampdoria, but the Dane is out of Conte’s plan. Except that his engagement is in the first bracket of the squad, together with those of Lukaku and Sanchez. In short, the ideal, as also indicated by the owner, would be to find a way to avoid paying it at least until the end of the season, so as to also have a reduction in operating costs.“.
