Bødø/Glimt enter the new year with league gold and victory in the last Europa League match. The club, which made the English media wonder about this “yellow phenomenon” before the Manchester United match, continues the patient building work to grow in a good and proper way for Glimt. With prize money ticking into the club account, it will reach out and secure two signings that a year ago would have been very surprising, but now seem natural.
Jens Petter Hauge returned on loan this season, Philip Zinckernagel the same. Both former Bodø/Glimt stars have had their ups and downs out in Europe, it was clear that the return to Asmpyra has done good for both.
Jens Petter Hauge is open to continuing in the future. “If they want me, I’m guessing they’ll get a bid that will be accepted,” Jens Petter Hauge says to VG after Thursday’s Europa League triumph.
Bodø/Glimt had an option to buy for 5 million euros in the loan agreement with the German club, but they let it expire. Now they are going for a somewhat lower price, but a price that will probably also be a buying record.
In the last week leading up to Christmas, Bodø/Glimt will negotiate with Eintracht Frankfurt for a reduced price on Jens Petter Hauge. At the same time, negotiations will be held with Club Brugge, which has not planned with Philip Zinckernagel in the future. Rumours from Aspmyra say that 5 million euros have been set aside for these negotiations.
Two signings the Bodø/Glimt supporters are sure to love.
