Eriksen even posed for a cheeky selfie with the supporters as they desperately tried to get a picture of him.
The 27-year-old has reportedly agreed a deal that will see him earn up to £320,000-per-week with the Italian giants.
He will the be the latest Premier League star to make the move to the San Siro after Ashley Young joined from Manchester United.
And out-of-favour Chelsea star Victor Moses has joined the Serie A giants on loan until the end of the season.
Eriksen has pushed for a move away from North London since he refused to extend his contract with Jose Mourinho's side.

Spurs were keen to recoup a small fee for the 27-year-old rather than risk losing him on a free deal at the end of the season.
He has made 305 appearances, scored 69 goals and made 89 assists since he joined Tottenham from Ajax in 2013.
But he has scored just three times this season and was dropped for the 1-1 draw with Southampton in the FA Cup.
Speaking about his decision to leave out Eriksen, Mourinho said: “If you ask me if I think this is the best Christian I have to be honest and say no.

“I am not blaming or criticising the player, I am just saying it is normal a player in this situation doesn’t perform at the highest level.
“But I can also say that he is helping us in matches that he is playing with us.”
