Felix Horn Myhre has expressed his desire to leave SK Brann and join Bodø/Glimt to compete in the Champions League this season. Bodø/Glimt have been pursuing his signature for several weeks, yet Brann remain adamant that he is not for sale. The midfielder was keen for the move to materialise before the closure of the Norwegian transfer window, but his request was ultimately denied.
Myhre has been an influential figure for Brann, playing a key role in helping the club secure qualification for the Europa League this season. However, his ambitions now lie with a club of greater stature within Norwegian football. Bodø/Glimt, who have built a strong reputation in recent years through both domestic dominance and impressive European performances, represent an attractive step up. Their qualification for the league phase of the Champions League has only enhanced that appeal, and Myhre had hoped to be part of their historic journey.
Transfer Request and Rejection
On Monday, Myhre made his intentions public, stating his wish to join Bodø/Glimt. Despite this, Brann rejected a formal offer of 40 million kroner for his services. The club’s stance was firm, leaving the player frustrated and supporters equally unsettled by the public nature of his statement.
For Brann fans, the prospect of losing such an important player was difficult enough, but hearing Myhre openly declare his desire to leave only fuelled further anger. The decision to reject Bodø/Glimt’s bid demonstrated the club’s determination to retain their core talent as they prepare for European competition of their own.
Myhre’s Apology to Supporters
In response to the backlash, Myhre has now issued a public apology, recognising that the way he handled the situation was not ideal. Speaking to TV2, he said:
“What can I say? I understand the reactions incredibly well. Maybe the way I spoke out in the media wasn’t so clever. I can apologize for that, absolutely. I didn’t expect the Brann supporters to treat me to that transfer, so of course they have every right to be angry about this.”
His words underline an attempt to rebuild his relationship with the Brann supporters, acknowledging that while his ambition to play at a higher level is understandable, the method he chose to express it may not have been wise.
The situation remains delicate, with Bodø/Glimt still monitoring developments. For now, Brann have held firm, but Myhre’s future may yet become a subject of renewed debate once the transfer window reopens.
