Den serbiske midtbanespilleren er nemlig snart klar for en ny klubb. Det er ukjent hvilken, men den er ikke norsk.

- Han gjennomfører medisinsk test torsdag. Det er snakk om ett års utlån om ting går i orden, forteller Mikael Dorsin til Adresseavisen.

Denic ble kjøpt fra Rad sommeren 2018. Han har aldri greid å spille seg til fast plass, men han har bokført 30 kamper og ett mål.

 Avslo bud på Helland (03.01.20)
 Helland foretrekker Norrköping (02.01.20)
 Norrköping ønsker Helland (17.12.19)

Ifølge Dagbladet var det avslåtte budet fra Sverige på bare én million kroner.

Norrköping prøvde å kjøpe Helland allerede i august i fjor. Da var Mikael Dorsin agent og forsøkte å overbevise Rosenborg om å selge fordi at Helland ikke hadde tillit til Eirik Horneland, som vraket ham fra laget i mai.

Nå ser samarbeidet mellom Helland og Horneland ut til å fortsette.

Uppgifter: Djurdjic träningsvägrade efter nobbat bud

Nikola Djurdjic fanns inte med på Hammarbys träning under onsdagen.
Fotbolldirekt uppger att 33-åringen ska ha träningsvägrat på grund av ett nobbat bud från en kinesisk klubb.
– Vi har ett längre kontrakt med ”Niko” i Hammarby sen har jag inga kommentarer, säger klubbens sportchef Jesper Jansson.


Fotbolldirekt skriver att Hammarby ska ha nobbat ett bud från en kinesisk klubb på två och en halv miljon kronor. Något som ska ha gjort att Djurdjic vägrat träna med Hammarby.

”Tränade inte i dag”

Enligt lagets assisterande tränare, Joachim Björklund, stämmer det att Djurdjic inte fanns med på träningen.
– Ja, det gör det. Så mycket mer har jag inte att säga. Han tränade inte i dag och har ni några fler frågor får ni ringa de lite högre upp, säger Björklund.
Fick ni tränare reda på det innan?
– Vi fick höra det innan, så det är lugnt. Vi visste om det.
Visste ni om anledningen?
– Nej, och återigen, det får du ta det med som sköter och styr i klubben.

Fåordig sportchef

Sportchefen Jesper Jansson var dock fåordig.
– Jag har inga kommentarer på det, säger han.
Jansson på frågan om intresset för Djurdjic:
– Vi har ett längre kontrakt med Niko i Hammarby sen har jag inga kommentarer.
Djurdjics agent Michael Kallbäck är ovetandes till om Djurdjic medverkade eller inte på träningen.
– Jag har ingen aning. Jag har inte pratat med Niko sedan någon dag tillbaka. Det är inte så att jag har koll på när spelare tränar och inte tränar, säger han.

Xavi 'will be manager' of Barcelona one day


Xavi Hernandez may have just turned down the chance to coach Barcelona but "he will be manager one day", the Catalan club's president Josep Maria Bartomeu said on Wednesday.
Former Barca captain Xavi was approached for the Camp Nou job last week but rejected the offer, preferring to remain as boss of Qatari team Al-Sadd for the time being.
That led to Quique Setien's appointment as successor to sacked Ernesto Valverde on Monday, the 61-year-old signing a contact until June 2022, with a break clause in 2021, to allow for change after the club's presidential elections.
Bartomeu believes that in Setien they have found a more than suitable alternative after failing to land their first choice.
"He has shown in the teams he's been with that he loves the beautiful game, he loves above all the way we like to see the game played and it's because of this that he was selected," Bartomeu told Sport website.
But he also had warm words for Xavi, who won the World Cup with Spain in 2010, came through Barcelona's academy and played 855 senior games for the club.
After an emotional farewell, he joined Al-Sadd as a player in 2015 before being appointed coach last July.
"Xavi will be manager of Barca one day, I have no doubt about that," he said.
"He is very competent, he is someone with an enormous drive and who knows our football perfectly."
Valverde was the first coach to be sacked by Barca mid-season since Louis van Gaal in 2003.
Despite the change of management Setien inherits a side sitting top of La Liga, albeit level on points with Real Madrid, and facing Napoli next month in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Mueller, Hummels surprise inclusions in Olympic team

Despite being axed from the Germany team last year, former World Cup winners Mats Hummels and Thomas Mueller are surprise contenders to feature at the Tokyo Olympics after being included on a 50-strong preliminary list of candidates for the German team.
The squad will not be finalised until June, but both Borussia Dortmund defender Hummels, 31, and Bayern Munich forward Mueller, 30, are on the extended list submitted on Wednesday by Stefan Kuntz, who will coach the German team in Tokyo.
Football at the Games, which will take place between July 24 and August 9, are contested at Under-23 level, but each team is allowed to add three older players.
Despite having played key roles in helping Germany win the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Hummels and Mueller were dumped by head coach Joachim Loew in March after the national team failed to qualify from the group stages of the 2018 World Cup.
The German Football Association (DFB) has stipulated that no player can play at both the Euro 2020, being held across Europe between from June 12-July 12, and the Olympics.
Germany have been drawn in Group F in the Euros, alongside world champions France and holders Portugal.

2021 Africa Cup of Nations to be played at start of year, say hosts Cameroon

The Africa Cup of Nations will revert to its former time slot of January and February for the next edition in 2021, hosts Cameroon said on Wednesday.
The Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) revealed that the tournament will be played from January 9 to February 6, 2021, on their request due to concerns about the weather.
The tournament was moved to a June-July slot for last year's first 24-team edition in Egypt, in large part to avoid clashing with the European club season.

Licence-less Klinsmann left red-faced before Bayern clash

With the Bundesliga resuming this weekend, ex-Germany and USA head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has been left red-faced after it emerged the Hertha Berlin boss is unable to prove he holds an up-to-date coaching licence.
The 55-year-old took charge in late November at Hertha, who host defending champions Bayern Munich on Sunday when the Bundesliga restarts after a four-week winter break.
Under Klinsmann, Hertha took 10 points from 12 in their last four league games of 2019 to climb to mid-table before hosting mighty Bayern, who sit third in the league, four points behind leaders Leipzig.
However, the former star striker has fallen foul of the German Football League (DFL) because he can not prove he holds a valid coaching licence, which he claims is at the family home in California.
Both Klinsmann and Hertha could be fined if his licence, which he gained in 2000 on a German Football Association (DFB) coaching course, is not up to date.
"With regards to Jurgen Klinsmann, proof of a valid coaching licence is currently missing," the DFL confirmed in a statement.
Under DFL regulations, a head coach in Germany's first or second division must hold a valid licence and attend regular refresher courses, leaving Klinsmann frantically hunting for the necessary paperwork and certificates.
"When I flew to Berlin at the end of November, I didn't think I would need my coaching licence and the relevant certificates," explained Klinsmann, who stepped in as head coach after Ante Covic was sacked, having initially only joined Hertha's supervisory board.
"(When I was home) at Christmas, I simply forgot the documents, but I am in the process of providing the necessary paperwork."
Tobias Haupt, head of the German FA's coaching academy, said they are looking into resolving the issue and Klinsmann could "close any gaps" by taking part in a refresher course.

Valverde given one match suspension for Super Cup foul

Federico Valverde has been handed a one-match suspension for the late foul that helped Real Madrid win the Spanish Super Cup, the country's football federation RFEF revealed on Wednesday.
Midfielder Valverde was sent off in the closing stages of extra time in Sunday's final against local rivals Atletico Madrid when the 21-year-old chopped down Spain striker Alvaro Morata as he charged through on goal.
Real won 4-1 on penalties after the match finished goalless, and Atletico coach Diego Simeone said that Valverde's foul "was the most important moment of the match".
The suspension means that Uruguayan Valverde will miss Real's home match against Sevilla on Saturday.
