I could actually see him return to Denmark soon. With everything that happened to him, I could see him return home and priotize family and stuff rather than making some downhill move abroad. However, if or when he returns home, it will 100% be to his boyhood club OB - Odense Boldklub - who are currently in a rare stint in the 2nd tier. They are leading it though and should return to the Superliga for the 2025/26 season. But I can't see him sign for any other Danish club. Well, maybe FC København, who have a bigger international reputation than anyone else. They have previously lured other top players like Brian Laudrup and Jesper Grønkjær, when they returned after a great career abroad.
Rumours are swelling about Eriksen returning at Ajax.
In general, if Dutch teams are in time they tend to seize a lot of Scandinavian players before they can make a jump to the big leagues. In that sense, the Dutch Eredivisie has a unique position as best of the smaller leagues, plus there are a lot of simularities between us and Scandinavian countries: linguistically, culturally and bike-friendliness.
But overall the Dutch league, much like the Danish one, struggle in that we cannot have the good players in their prime: they play at our clubs when they haven't reached full potential yet, or when they're well over their peak - never in between.

Yes, that is probably the most likely scenario.
