Inter chief Giuseppe Marotta was hardly reassuring when recently quizzed on the player's future.
“Conte has already spoken about it thoroughly," Marotta told DAZN.
"I can just add that we do not certainly have to force a player to stay when he asks to leave.
“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.”

Tottenham have already reportedly ruled out a return for Eriksen in private while the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund are said to be interested.
Arsenal are already working on a restricted budget and Mikel Arteta has just brought in another midfielder in the form of Thomas Partey.
Houssem Aouar and Dominik Szoboszlai remain targets for the Gunners ahead of the January transfer window.
Arteta seems likely to bolster his midfield options in the next two transfer windows.
Matteo Guendouzi's future at the club remains unclear while on loan at Hertha Berlin and Dani Ceballos could return to Real Madrid next summer.
