Inter Milan's Christian Eriksen in Italy for first time since cadriac arrest, meets CEO Beppe Marotta

I think the key out of that article is

Quote

...

Eriksen will undergo further tests in Italy and is not expected to be back on a soccer field for at least six months.

Depending on the cause of the cardiac arrest and the nature of his treatment, he could be prohibited from playing in Italy but could continue his career in England or the Netherlands where the rules are different.

...

Italy has "Cardiological Guidelines for Sports Eligibility" which he would likely fail.

Sounds like a good policy!

Better than Grealish anyway. Huge win for Villa.

Huge win for Southampton... was worried we were going to lose him on a free at end of this season.

 

A bit of a strange move for Danny though, i know he wanted Top 6 (City, United). I would have to assume Villa's wages were more attractive than Southampton's. ha.. understatement.

yeah, if City isn't getting Kane or Haaland this summer (and they're not), then i'm guessing that money goes to Messi.  hell, Messi might even take a bit of a haircut to play with Pep again.

The Barca press release almost sounds like posturing with Tebas.  Maybe he really is gone, but Tebas is on his way to Bowlsby territory if they lose that many eyeballs.

La Liga was trying this week to sell 10% of their tv/licensing rights to a private equity firm for €2.7bn. This could all be posturing.

if true the only cost for Messi would be the exorbitant salary, right?

Yeah, but he was rumored to be taking a pay cut to stay at Barca. He might want a challenge elsewhere and be willing to take a bigger cut to play rainy nights at Stoke.
