Inter look set to receive insurance payments which will compensate them for the salary of the stricken Christian Eriksen.
This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, who report that the FIFA will contribute a large part of the Danish midfielder’s salary due to the fact that his health emergency occurred during a UEFA competition.
With Eriksen set to miss all or most of next season, and the possibility that the player will be unable to compete in Italy, the insurance comes as a relief to the Nerazzurri as they set to plan for a future without him.
For now the club will wait on any further developments regarding the player’s condition, and will not have financial reason to immediate action with his wages covered by the insurance payments.
In the meantime, the club are said to be prioritizing the arrival of a direct replacement for Eriksen’s contribution, with Hakan Calhanoglu said to be a player with the right profile.
Calhanoglu’s contract with city rivals AC Milan is set to expire at the end of the month and the player looks unlikely to agree a renewal with the Rossoneri.
It is thought that Inter will be able to accommodate the signing of the 27-year-old Turk so long as the financial plan involving the sale of a major squad member by June 30 is stuck to.
