He arrived as a practically unknown footballer and left as a star of the entire league. David Brekalo will continue his career in North America after sealing a move to MLS, where he will play for Orlando City FC this week. The disappointment of the Viking at losing the former Bravo player is not hidden, but they can still be quite satisfied. As revealed in Stavanger, David Brekalo departed as the most expensive player in the club’s history.
“David was an important player for us, he was also one of the best central defenders in Scandinavia. Of course, it’s sad to lose such a quality player, but David Brekalo deserved this opportunity. We wish him the best of luck,” said Viking’s sporting director, Erik Nevland, after the deal with the Florida club, adding: “This is the biggest sale in Viking’s history, so we are pleased with the completed deal.”
So far, Viking’s record sale was Valon Berisha, for whom Austrian giant Red Bull Salzburg paid €2.8 million. According to unofficial information, David Brekalo is said to have moved to North America for €3 million.
