Winsnes to leave RBK

The match against Olympiakos was probably the last game Fredrik Winsnes ever played at Lerkendal.
Dr. Winsnes, who finished his medical education earlier this year, played 21 league games for RBK this season, but was only 11 times in the starting line-up - then mostly due to injuries on the competing midfielders. He is in other words no longer a first choice on RBK's midield.
At the same time Rosenborg want to buy another midfielder, and therefore Winsnes has decided to leave Trondheim, according to Dagsavisen.
Several clubs, among them Tromsø and Norrköping, have shown their interest in the 30-year-old, but at the moment Aalborg seems to be first in line. Earlier this November the Danes tried to get the ex-RBK player Jarle Steinsland, but the Vard star-player instead chose Bryne.
"One thing is certain: I am not going to Tromsø," Fredrik Winsnes said.
The Norwegian transfer market opened two weeks ago, but a injury ridden Rosenborg are not letting him go until the season has ended.
"He is not going anywhere until we are done with the match against Lyon," Per-Mathias Høgmo confirmed
Winsnes made his debut for RBK in 1997, and has played 173 league matches and scored 13 goals since then. In the season of 2002 he took a "year off" in Hammarby of Sweden to escape the busy life in Trondheim as both a football player and medical student.
