Norrkoping has sold Nicklas Bärkroth to Polish top club Lech Poznan. According to information from FotbollDirekt, the club has made nearly five million kronor from the deal. It's a good deal for Norrköping, a good deal for both Nicklas and Norrköping, says agent Per Jonsson. Nicklas Bärkroth is leaving Allsvenskan and Norrköping is losing one of its leading names. The star has six months left on his contract and the price was likely to fall, but now it's clear that Norrköping has managed to make a lot of money from the star. According to reports, it's about 4.5 - 5 million. Norrköping wanted to help Nicklas while also feeling that they got a good price. Jens Gustafsson and Norrköping's management have placed great value on how professionally Nicklas has always behaved for Norrköping. The agreement also includes a resale clause. FotbollDirekt's information also shows how clubs like Bröndby and Blackburn have shown concrete interest. Additionally, Kaiserslautern has been in the picture. Lech Poznan has followed Nicklas for over a year and seen many matches with him, so when they decided to go for Nicklas and make an offer, Nicklas decided quickly. This is a top club with over 30,000 spectators on average and which is almost always top-3 and plays in Europe almost constantly. Bärkroth is going abroad again and to a top club - and Norrköping is making a lot of money. However, the gap that arises is a heavy minus. Norrköping has received a good sum of money for a player who is near the end of his contract. It's a good deal for both parties. Norrköping can now use the money to strengthen the team for the upcoming season.
