Ranheim buys Eggen Rismark from Brann – VG

Ranheim CEO Frank Lidahl confirms that the midfielder has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract and will be bought by the Obosliga team. The player himself is very happy to be back home, but also says he could become a Bodø / Glimt player this winter:

– During the New Year I had received signs that I was not promised a permanent place in Brann. I was very relevant to Bodø / Glimt, and now it’s a bit bitter. They bid a couple of times, but the clubs did not agree on a sum. And then the crown came inconveniently, Ranheim’s new midfielder tells VG.

Bodø / Glimt then picked up Marius Høibråten from Sandefjord. Eggen Rismark admits that he was interested in moving north at the time.

– I wanted it and I notified it (to Brann’s address). But now I’m done, says Christian Eggen Rismark.

It becomes the most expensive of all time

Now he will be the league runner-up in the Obosligaen instead of the best team in the Eliteserien. From what VG understands, the transfer fee that Brann receives may exceed one million crowns if Eggen Rismark’s re-entry into Ranheim’s defense offers success.

– Without commenting on the sum: this is a great transition for Ranheim. This is the first time we’ve brought home a man from Trøndelag in his prime. This supports our level of ambition as a club, reports Lidahl.

The transfer takes place the day after coach Svein Maalen called in the team leaders after going from a 1-0 lead to a 1-3 loss to rising competitor Lillestrøm in Åråsen during the final minutes of the match. of the Obosliga.

Now Maalen brings back his former head defender in jersey 2, even more experienced than he was when he went to Brann in the summer of 2018, and had to learn to sing:

At the time, Nils’ grandson Arne Eggen cost just under three million crowns for Bergen gold prospectors.

In that regard, there is little doubt that Ranheim has made the best tent for the defender financially, even though they set a transfer record to bring Rismark home, to the club he also played for during his football training.

– Then all you have to do is deliver, Eggen Rismark informs with a smile about the tag ‘most expensive Ranheim player ever’. You will be considered a full time professional, but with a training course started, the plan is that you can eventually contribute to that part of the club.

Brann never made the safe, left-handed stopper a clear first choice. When Vegard Forren was hired just before the series’ postponed start this year, the road seemed even longer for Rismark. The fact that Lars Arne Nilsen has been replaced by Trøndelag’s man Kåre Ingebrigtsen has apparently not changed the situation.

– Difficult to answer why. It depends a little on itself. I felt that maybe I could not use my strengths and my clearer forces. Then I was in good competition with several good plugs. Blaming no one, the 29-year-old answers why he never became Brann’s first choice over time.

– How did you clap with Lars Arne Nilsen?

– Personally, it was nice. It was a little different how we should work things out on the court, but that will always be the case. Not much more to say, he says about the coach who picked it up.
