Molde picks up Ola Brynhildsen (21) when his contract with Stabæk expires. Fans don’t like it in Bærum.
The 21-year-old becomes a Molde player on July 1, the club confirms on its websites. He has signed a 2.5-year contract with the champions of the reigning series.
– We have been in Stabæk and have been trying to buy it since December 2018. We are very happy to find Ola. He is a player who fits perfectly into our player logistics, CEO Ole Erik Stavrum of Molde tells VG.
Both Stavrum and general manager Jon Tunold at Stabæk confirm that they have received the photo posted on Twitter of a Judas banner hanging outside what VG has confirmed to be the home of Ola Brynhildsen’s mother.
Mother Iren Kjus, who works at Norwegian Top Soccer, says the banner was hung Monday night and removed in the morning.
– We do not want to comment on this in anything other than that we think it is very unfortunate and sad. It is negative when they throw it so far, but we choose to remove the banner and finish it, Kjus tells VG.

– I think it’s very unfortunate. We distance ourselves from such brands. We believe this is not good at all. I’ve talked to the fan club, and it’s not the ones behind it, but some people who don’t know who they are. It is unfortunate and sad that this affects Ola and the family, Tunold tells VG.
– I don’t understand that he is the culprit. After all, we have tried to pick it up and have been in dialogue with Stabæk for a long time. I think it’s a shame Ola gets mad there. I don’t think he deserves it, Stavrum says.
Stabæk sporting director Torgeir Bjarmann was asked about Brynhildsen when he was hired on April 16.
– As a profile of Stabæk and a young player, he is, after all, a player that I, as a sports coach, wanted to continue. When he starts working, we’ll see if there is any way to resolve this situation with him, Bjarmann replied.
It turned out not to be possible. CEO Tunold says he has known for “a couple of weeks” that Brynhildsen did not want to extend the contract with Stabæk.
“But now signing for Molde, I only read in the newspaper now,” says the head of Stabæk on Monday morning.
Ola Brynhildsen is training with Stabæk in Nadderud on Monday morning and has so far not been available for comment.
