Dinamo Moscow are said to have made a 1 million Euro bid for Frode Johnsen.
"I can confirm that Dinamo Moscow has made inquiries about the player, and made an offer. If this becomes even more concrete Frode and the family must discuss if moving to Russia is something they want to do. But right now the offer is not something we are too busy thinking about," Johnsen's agent, Stig Lillejord, told Trondheim daily Adresseavisen.
Frode Johnsen has been in the same situation twice the last year: In August Mallorca made an offer, and in January Sparta Prague did the same. Both times Rosenborg wished to keep the 32 year-old, whose contract expires after the 2008 season is finished.
This time it could be harder to say no. The bid is good, and the contract offer to Johnsen is said to include an annual net salary of 600,000 Euro with the possibility of good bonuses.
