Signed by LOSC for €3.75M including bonuses, Andrej Ilic Valerenga became the most important sale in the history of the football elite.
While LOSC and its supporters rejoiced at the arrival of a long-awaited scorer, in the person of Andrej Ilic (23 years old), Norwegian team Valerenga Football Elite said goodbye to one of its heroes, or almost. In the fight to stay in the elite, the Norwegian team, which was indeed relegated, was able to count on 9 goals (in 13 matches) scored by Neo-Dog to give them hope. An importance is reflected in the words of the sporting director of this Scandinavian team, Joasim Jonsson: “What he delivered last year naturally generated a lot of interest beyond the country’s borders, and ultimately it was Lille who won the battle for his signature. Ultimately, this is a very good financial deal for Valerenga and a great opportunity for Andrej as well. Ligue 1 is an exciting championship and I am sure he will do well there as well.”
he says.Sold for 4.5 million euros (bonus included), including a fixed portion of 3.75 million euros, Andrej Ilic thus became the most important sale of the Valerenga football elite. That’s €750,000 ahead of Odin Thiago Holm’s (20-year-old) departure, which was recorded a few days ago at Celtic Glasgow. A far from detailed amount for this Norwegian team, which facilitated the evolution of negotiations between the two clubs: “It is a new challenge for me and a step in my career. I am very happy that Valerenga helped me in this process”Andrej Ilic admitted in a press release published by his former club.
