Jose Mourinho: I have a good relationship with Christian Eriksen

 

Tottenham head coach Jose Mourinho has pledged not to break the trust of contract rebel Christian Eriksen by revealing the nature of their recent talks.

The Denmark international is understood to have told Mourinho of his plans to leave the club either at the end of his contract in the summer, or in January if he can be sold.

The Portuguese has previously said that the amount of minutes Eriksen gets will be determined by his long-term future, so the fact that Wednesday’s Champions League defeat at Bayern Munich was his first start points to an exit.

Mourinho, though, would not be drawn on exactly what Eriksen has told him.

“I only know his contract ends at the end of the season and the conversations I have had with Christian are private conversations that I am not going to share,” he said.

“I think it is a personal thing. I am not going to share.

“He was so honest with me and I was so honest with him that our relationship is really, really good.

“We have a very good relationship that started on day one. I am not going to betray that trust and relationship.

“I just share these intimate conversations with the structure of the club, and Christian obviously knows I am an important part of the club and my job is to share with the structure but to you, it is not for me to say.

“It is up to Christian to tell anything he wants to or not.”
