by Magdalena Eriksson contract with Chelsea expires this summer and the top footballer has a clear plan of what he wants for the future.
According to Aftonbladet, Eriksson wants his partner Pernille Harder to leave at the same time and move to the same club.
The couple has been dating for almost 10 years. Eriksson’s statement has already raised some waves in Great Britain.
– They are our personal preferences and that is how we justify it. People can think what they want. I actually don’t care about it at all, commented Eriksson for Aftonbladet.
Eriksson moved to Chelsea in 2017. Three years later, Harder joined as a teammate.
The two have been among the club’s most important players.
– We don’t demand anything. It’s not harsh, it’s just our preference. People have opinions about it, but we believe it makes us better footballers. That’s what we want.
– We believe that the best thing for us in terms of football is to stay together. We know we are both at a very high level.

“Should respect”
There is also another Swedish couple playing in England, because Julia Zigiotti Olme and Emma Kullberg both represent Brighton.
It would be a dream for them to move to another club together.
– You can’t always get what you want, but it’s clear that you have to find something for yourself that is good for your private life. It’s a tough road, but we have good agents working on it.
Zigiotti Olme points out that people should respect Eriksson and Harder’s wishes.
– There are always headlines when two star footballers go out and say something. It is what it is and they have their demands. I think they should be respected.
