Sunnmørsposten get confirmed that AaFK and a foreign club have agreed terms for a sale of Bjørdal. 18-year-old has been ÅFK permission to visit the club Monday to agree on his personal contract.
How Sunnmørsposten understand what it is about the English Championship club Brighton.
Bjørdal stood over game - is on its way abroad
- It is true that we are agreed on the framework for an agreement with a club about a sale of Henrik, but anything more than that I can hardly comment, saying AaFK director Henrik Hoff.
Hardt bet Brighton fighting for promotion to the Premier League this year. After 28 rounds is the club third in the Championship - five points behind Middlesbrough on direct promotion place.
On outgoing contract
Henrik BJORDAL contract with Aalesund is originally out in summer. The winger has not wanted to prolong this.
Toy bids rejected - have notified Bjørdal bid
- We would be more than happy to keep Henrik at the club for several years. But since he only has five to six months left on his contract and he has asked strongly about getting this opportunity, so we think it is right to let him go now, says Henrik Hoff.
- What can you say about the agreement for ÅFK part?
- I emphasize that not everything is in place, but under the circumstances - considering that he has five months left on his contract - it's a deal we are pleased with. But I can not say anything more than that, says Hoff.
Shall be replaced
There, however, he is crystal clear is that Henrik Bjørdal be replaced.
- All players disappear now, must be replaced, says Hoff.
AaFK coach Trond Fredriksen has long been prepared to lose both Bjørdal and Leke James. Now it seems at least to be lost. Probably also sold Leke James in a short time.
- We try to stay ahead as best as possible. Considering the substitutes, I feel that we are as well prepared as it whatsoever is possible to be - unless we agree with the club or the player about a transition, says Fredriksen.
- You have specific names of substitutes?
- Yes, I already know who I want as Henry replaces. I have already been in contact with a player and asked him whether it might be appropriate. There, he has said he might be, says Fredriksen.
He looks forward also to the international transfer window closes at the end.
- To date, the international window impeded the bit to get players. For our part, it is an advantage that it closes, says Fredriksen.
