Leicester also expressed interest in renting Ericsen… but worried about the burden of ‘400 million per week’




[인터풋볼] Reporter Oh Jong-heon = Leicester City also seems to be interested in recruiting Christian Ericsen (28, Inter Milan). However, it is not expected to pay a large weekly wage.

Ericsen played a key player in Tottenham Hootspur. However, in the last minute of the 2018-19 season, he suffered a difficult condition, refused to renew the contract, and expressed his intention to transfer. In the end, Ericsen left Tottenham in January and wore an Inter Milan uniform. At the time, the transfer fee was only 20 million euros (about 26.8 billion won).

I wasn’t satisfied with my performance at Inter Milan. Last season, he made 17 appearances in Serie A in Italy, but only 8 starts. The season ended with only 1 goal and 2 assists in attack points. Eventually, the news that Inter Milan is considering selling Ericsson after half a season this summer.

Although many clubs are known to have expressed interest in Ericsen, they chose to stay ahead of this season. However, the position did not change significantly. He played in 9 league games (starting 4, substitute 5) but was unable to raise a single attack point. It is a situation that contrasts sharply with the atmosphere of the team running second in Serie A.

Eventually, I left Inter Milan. “Ericsen is on the release list. I will be leaving the team in January.” The most influential team for the next destination was Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Director Mauricio Pochettino, who was recently appointed as the PSG command tower, is a teacher who put Ericsen in the midst of Tottenham.

The rumors of a return to Tottenham also flowed. Tottenham are known to want a rental rather than a complete transfer. It is true, however, that Daniel Levy is considering Ericsen’s return, but news came that he did not want to pay any money for the lease.

Leicester is also watching the situation. Leicester is currently in third place in the league this season. If you keep the same pace right now, you can secure enough tickets to advance to the Champions League. Leicester’s core resources are by far’main gun’ Jamie Bardy and James Madison, who will open the door to attack in the second line.

If Ericsen joins Leicester, it’s a good card to offload Madison. However, Talk Sports of the UK said, “Leicester is interested in renting Ericsen, but he is hesitant about paying wages like Tottenham. Currently, Ericsen receives more than £300,000 per week from Inter Milan. It is estimated” he said.

Inter Milan’s position is firm. Any team interested in hiring Ericsen on loan is known to want to pay the rental fee and his weekly salary. Therefore, if you rent Ericsson on the condition that you pay the full weekly wage, you will have to pay more than 1.2 million pounds (about 1.8 billion won) per month.
