According to the Daily Star, Arsenal have now decided they will not go for Eriksen, after being offered the 28-year-old.
Inter Milan executive Giuseppe Marotta has already dropped a hint the club will offload the player in January.
“Conte has already spoken about it thoroughly. I can just add that we do not certainly have to force a player to stay when he asks to leave,” Marotta told DAZN.
“We will have to evaluate the situation. Now he is available for Conte, who has been making him play in [Eriksen’s] respect and in the club’s respect.
“Up to now, we have not received any request from Eriksen, but at the right time we will try to find the right combinations.”

The manner of Eriksen's Tottenham exit means a return to Spurs is highly unlikely.
When speaking to BBC Sport about his departure, Eriksen admitted he felt relieved to resolve his future and seal a move to the San Siro.
He said: "England, for the last few years, was very hectic. After what I said in the summer, it was just about 'when is he going to leave?' Every game it was 'Is he leaving? Is he not leaving?' Of course, a lot of people were speaking about it.
"Even the fans you see on the street were like 'Thank you, goodbye and good luck'. But I was still there. It was a bit weird. In my head and for my body, it is good that I am in a new place and I can start again."
