Manchester United-linked Christian Eriksen free to leave Inter Milan in January

Inter Milan chief executive officer Beppe Marotta has revealed that Christian Eriksen will be free to leave the Italian giants during the January transfer window.

The Denmark international has largely struggled to impress for Inter since arriving from Tottenham Hotspur in January, managing just four goals and three assists in 33 outings in all competitions.

Manchester United are allegedly considering a January move for the playmaker, and Marotta has revealed that the 28-year-old will be available for transfer at the start of 2021.

"Yesterday, [Antonio] Conte answered in a very comprehensive way," Marotta told DAZN. "I clearly add that we will not hold a footballer back if they ask to be transferred. We will have to make the right evaluations.

"Conte is using [Eriksen] with respect for the player and the club. At the moment no offers have arrived, but at the appropriate time we will try to make the right decisions."

Inter boss Conte said that Eriksen "has had many opportunities" to prove himself at the club since arriving in the winter transfer window.

The Black and Blues are thought to value the former Ajax youngster in the region of £18m.
