RBK no longer interested in Occean

Rosenborg is no longer interested in getting Odd's striker Olivier Occean to sign for them.
After the season was over the management at RBK and Odd had meetings together, but these ended before any negotiations began. Like Brann, the hefty price tag of 1.25 million Euros scared away Rosenborg.
"I have been trying to sell Occean for one and a half years. Many have shown their interest, but I have not gotten many specific offers," agent Lars Petter Fosdahl said, who has more or less given up selling the Canadian national team's striker for the sum Odd is demanding:
"Like I said, I have tried to sell him for one and a half years and I have had no luck in doing so. With the current situation in the European player market, not many players go for more than one million Euros," he confirmed.
RBK are still looking at northeners Sigurd Rushfeldt and Ole Martin Årst.
