Gambian player Kristian Brix has been left disenchanted after a
protracted negotiation with his club over an improved contract
extension failed, Foroyaa Sport can report.
Brix joined Norwegian Premier League outfit Bodo Glmit last season ona two-year deal doing very well in his first spell in helping to tight
up the club’s backline.
And by way of rewarding the 25-year-old’s contribution the previous
campaign, the club has been locked in talks with the player’s
representatives and it was hoped he will be offered a revised
contract.
Negotiations have been on and it was believed an agreement will be
finalized soon before a dramatic turn of events saw the deal bit the
brick walls. Disagreement over wages, this paper understands, is
behind the stalled talks.
‘We negotiated for a long period, but we unfortunately did not come to
a consensus. That’s where we are now. I think it’s a shame. I’ll now
just play for Glimt till end of the season,’ the Gambian fumes.
The erstwhile Sandefjord captain has five months left of his initial
two-year deal but intends to reopen discussions with Bodo’s club board
with the hope to stay put.
Brix, who was among invited players for Gambia-South Africa match but
could not turn up after his club refused him leave, is sidelined with a
groin problem and wouldn’t return to the field until next week.
Kristian has been a crucial cog in Bodo’s team utilized either as a
central midfielder or left back role.]]>
