ULEVAAL STADION (Nettavisen): On Friday, Nettavisen reported that former Tromsø player August Mikkelsen is on his way to Bodø/Glimt from Sweden's Hammarby.
The transition process has once again fired minds in the north, and in Tromsø the transition process is referred to as “totally unacceptable” in a commentary column in a local newspaper. Northern lights.

New development: A shocking transformation is approaching
Mikkelsen, himself a member of the Forza Tromsø fan club, was harshly criticized by leader Morten Kjöllingberg. In January at the latest, the former TIL player spoke about how much he supports his former club.
– It will be canceled and the money will be refunded. “We're not interested in that money,” Keelingberg tells Nordly's about Mikkelsen's membership.
Hammarby confirmed on Saturday that Mikkelsen had been given permission to visit a new club.
Shortly afterwards, the 23-year-old was photographed arriving at Bodo Airport.
– Understand that Tromsø is tired of this
Glimt star and national team player Patrik Berge was substituted at halftime of Norway's match against the Czech Republic due to illness on Friday. He is happy with Mikkelsen's potential move.
-If things go well, we will have another great player in Glimt. We played against him several times in Tromsø and most recently against Hammarby in Marbella. A very good player who naturally knows Gout Hellstrup and Josten Gundersen very well, and many other players in the team,” Berg tells Netafsen.
See what Glimt profiler Fredrik Bjørkan has to say about it:
He says he hasn't heard much more in the press about how close this is to happening.
– But I think he is a fantastically good player and can make good strides in Glimt.
– What do you think about the disputes that are escalating now with the background of Tromsø?
– I understand that Tromsø is tired of this, I can see that very well. But for Glimt, it's always about signing the best players. Maybe it has become a coincidence that many players in Tromsø are attractive because they have developed well and been good, especially last year, but also the year before.
– Players become attractive when they perform well, but as it stands, Glimt has more status and more money than Tromsø. So that's how it became, Berg says.
The clubs agree: – Incredible fun
Hammarby and Glimt have now agreed the framework for Mikkelsen's transfer and only the details remain. On Saturday morning, Mikkelsen boarded a flight from Stockholm to Oslo, before continuing on to Bodø.
If nothing unexpected happens in the near future, Mikkelsen will soon be wearing a yellow Glimt suit.
– It's very funny, left-back Fredrik Bjorkan tells Nettavisen that Mikkelsen looks ready to become his new teammate at Bodø.

He believes Mikkelsen is a good player and will be a great asset for the Glimt team.
However, Bjorkan does not feel for the Tromsø supporters who once again have to see a former champion go to the challenger.
-I don't need to comment on that. “I only think of the best of Glimt and Glimt,” he says.
“Infuriatingly humble internet trailblazer. Twitter buff. Beer nerd. Bacon scholar. Coffee practitioner.”
