While there were several scouts from the Premier League at Aspheim to keep an eye on Jens Petter Hauge, AC Milan pulled the trigger and landed a deal of 4.8 million euros in the autumn of 2020.
Eintracht Frankfurt left 10 million euros for the loan and purchase of Jens Petter Hauge. They hoped to get much of that back from Bodø/Glimt, who have had the Norwegian left winger back on loan for almost a year.
Jens Petter Hauge came home to Bodø/Glimt last season after a few seasons abroad without a big breakthrough. The rental period from Eintracht Frankfurt is over and Hauge is back at the Bundesliga club. For the Glimt supporters, a permanent signing of the club’s “big son” would be perfect. The Eintracht director perceives the Glimt management’s strategy as strange, because the opportunity was there.
“It’s a bit strange that they negotiated a purchase option (in the lease), which they could either use or not,” sports director Timmo Hardung begins to Kicker.
What makes Hardung stumble, is that Bodø/Glimt will be back to negotiate a price under the set purchase option.
“The amount has been set, and that’s what we want,” says Eintracht’s sporting director.
According to Avisa Nordland, the purchase option was for 5 million euros. Then we will see if Bodø/Glimt calculate that a permanent Hauge signing is worth it. Eintracht are unlikely to lower their expectations.
