While losing him to United would be a massive kick in the teeth, I can't see any positives in keeping an unhappy player (who we'll lose for no money at all in a year's time) while also preventing us from bringing in reinforcements.
Maybe we are encouraging him as Real arent that interested and he wont sign up....

CE leaving is holding everything up...been told he could be going up north, which is strange...definitely want BF and GLC not or....was told we want 3 which maybe refers to Dybala too?
Eriksen going to United is not strange to me at all. He’s never really struck me as the ambitious type. So this is perfectly on brand, IMO. Whatever though. Get him out of the club as quickly as possible. I’ve been done with him since the same time he was done with us, in January.

Eriksen going to United would be the quickest way of burning any remaining goodwill he has with us. What "new challenge" is he going to face there apart from "earning more money"? That said, he clearly doesn't want to be here any more so sell him to whoever is willing to pay and let them deal with his abject performances when he loses interest. And get rid ASAP if he's actually holding up players that actually want to play for us from joining.

We're hearing hungry young players like Fernandes and Lo Celso say they want to come to us and play under Poch, I don't see what Eriksen's problem is tbh.

Even if we did sign BF and GLC, selling Eriksen to a PL rival and strengthening them (especially Utd) would be sickening.

Obviously there’s no guarantee it will work out for him there (see Alexis), but there’s also no guarantee BF or GLC will be as good as Eriksen here either (language, change of league, change of culture).

Well can a PL club justify the 100m Levy would ask? City maybe with Sane going to Bayern?
we can't ask for that much when we have no power, he can walk for nothing in 12 months.

I'd be happy with anything over 50.

it would definitely suck, but seeing him go there for free next year would suck more

Europa League?
He played in the EL with us, it's not a new challenge. :) Although I suppose if he specifically wants to win *that* trophy, he won't be doing it here.

The only reason he'd go to United is to line his pockets. I don't see OGS lasting the season and then there'll be *another* new manager and *another* rebuild. He's not an exciting, highly respected manager, he got sacked by Cardiff ffs.

I’d be happy with anything close to 50- he has most the cards in this dynamic. If he’s not going to sign- which seems very likely at the moment- then we need to get as much as possible for him but be realistic about what we can get. I think going to Utd won’t be as bad as him going to City or Liverpool for obvious reasons

I am not concerned if Eriksen ends up at United. In short to medium term, they are still rudderless with Ole in charge. United has been a graveyard for players of late - cant think any one's career flying high after United move.

I really would not understand why he would sign for them rather than sign a new contract here? Can only be for money.

However if it means united back off Dybala for us then I could live with it!

We don't know the ins and outs. Maybe we've told them we'll sell them Eriksen if they give us a free run at Dybala. I suspect it's us just trying to offload him so we can get some cash in though.

I dont think Eriksen leaves and I am not optimistic we get either GLC or BF over the line. I think we get Sess and thats it.
