Christian Eriksen has a high star in the world of football. Even with a pacemaker in his body, the Danish playmaker has shown in the Premier League after his cardiac arrest, first for Brentford, then Manchester United showed he is up to the level. There was therefore a high mood at Wolfsburg, when they convinced the 34-year-old to choose their club after exiting Old Trafford.
Eriksen has done his thing, playing in 24 out of 25 league games and recording 2 goals and 8 assists. However, it has turned out that the former United star may have made a club choice that ends with a course south – to the 2. Bundesliga.

Wolfsburg have long “flirted” with relegation, but now it has really gotten serious. After the previous round’s loss to Werder Bremen, Wolfsburg have three points up on 16th place, which gives them access to the playoffs against a team from the 2. Bundesliga, and five points up to a safe save.
Kicker has taken a closer look at what relegation will mean, and according to the German newspaper, all player contracts are also valid in the 2. Bundesliga, but the players’ salaries will be reduced by 35 percent.
Last season, Wolfsburg finished 11th in the Bundesliga, nine points behind 6th place and the Conference League ticket. Christian Eriksen probably did not envisage a salary cut of 35 percent and play against Bayern II, Andernach and Viktoria.
