Vidosic's Danish Move Fails

as seen on au.fourfourtwo.com

Dario Vidosic's proposed move away from FC Nürnberg seems to have failed, with Danish Superliga club Esbjerg fB unlikely to offer the Australian a contract.

The 21-year-old midfielder had spent a week on trial at Esbjerg earlier this month, as he seeks a move away from 2.Bundesliga club Nürnberg where he has only made a handful of appearances since joining in March 2007 from Queensland Roar.

And while initial reports suggested Vidosic had impressed the Danish club during his trial, Esbjerg confirmed yesterday they are likely to pursue other options.

Esbjerg sports director Niels Erik Søndergaard said, "No, it is not completely closed yet, but I am not counting on something happening with Dario.

"We have said that we are pleased with what we have now but we will continue to look to strengthen our offence and that is why there is still some doubt in the air."

It is believed Esbjerg, who are battling to avoid relegation from the Danish top flight this season, are more interested in acquiring a striker rather than a midfielder and this worked against Vidosic.

Nonetheless, Esbjerg haven't completely ruled out a move for Vidosic and if they don't land their targets during the last few days of the transfer window they could potentially return for the Nürnberg man.
