Veton Berisha has returned to Viking following the mutual termination of his contract with Molde. This marks his third spell at Viking, although his departure in 2022 left a lingering sense of disappointment among the club’s supporters.
At that time, Berisha was considered one of Viking’s key players, and the club were reluctant to let him go. Nevertheless, he pushed for a move and eventually secured a transfer to Hammarby IF. His time in Sweden was short-lived, lasting only a few months before he returned to Norway to join Molde.
Molde has now decided to end his contract, paving the way for Berisha’s unexpected return to Viking to continue his career. This development took many by surprise, given the circumstances surrounding his previous exit.
Berisha has acknowledged the negative reaction from fans since his comeback, recognising that his actions in 2022 were not handled well. Speaking to VG, he said, “I understand the reactions that have come, and that will surely come.”
When questioned about the recurring issues surrounding his departures from clubs, he admitted, “No, it’s not good to say. It has been my fault, and sometimes not. What I can stand for now is that what happened in 2022 was unfortunate.”
Viking Fans React to Berisha’s Return
The player’s return has reignited debates among Viking supporters, many of whom still harbour resentment over his previous exit. Despite this, Viking’s management appears willing to give him another opportunity to prove himself and contribute to the team’s ambitions.
Berisha Looks to Make Amends
Berisha’s comments suggest a level of self-awareness regarding the past difficulties, signalling a willingness to move forward positively. His return offers him a chance to rebuild his relationship with the club and its fans while focusing on his performances on the pitch.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Berisha to see if he can repay Viking’s faith and help the club achieve success after a turbulent period.
