Bodo/Glimt sporting director Havard Sakariassen has been talking up Mikkel Bro Hansen who has been linked with a move to Barcelona.
The 16-year-old Danish starlet has admitted it’s “fantastic” to hear about such transfer talk, and the club chief thinks he has a very bright future ahead of him.
“He’s a very young lad and has wonderful talent when it comes to scoring goals. He has the potential to become an international goalscorer. Since joining the first team, he’s adapted to the pace of training spectacularly.
ADI think he has a very bright future,” he told AS.
“He has a knack for scoring goals. He’s not playing for Barça today, but he’s 16 years old. His performance during first-team training is incredible. That says a lot about his potential.”
Sakariassen also added that he wants Bro Hansen to stay at the club but acknowledges his long-term future is likely to lie away from his team.
“I want Mikkel (Bro Hansen) to stay in Bodø, to develop here and become our player first. Then he can go wherever he wants, to England or Spain. If we don’t want to do business right now, there’s no need to send us an offer,” he added.
“I hope he stays with us for a while, but saying he’s ‘not for sale’ also depends on money. That will also be a factor for the club. I think he’ll get more minutes this fall, and then we’ll see.”
Barcelona’s interest in Bro Hansen is said to be “very real” although it remains to be seen if and when they will make a move for the youngster.
